I *DID* decide to go with 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 after reading more about it, if for no other reason that I don't want to hear about it every time I mention the IP addresses of my private network to someone <g>. Also, it didn't hurt anything, was easy to change, and I guess it's a good idea to use convention in this area. What if something got screwed up and I *did* start broadcasting those addresses to the Internet (unlikely, but not impossible).
