I forgot about doing this, since in the past it wasn't a big deal since my provider was providing me name-space, so going to them was trivial if the link was up. Now that we're under a namespace where the authoratative servers are 1000 miles away, 'faking authority' seems a much better solution, so that's what I've done. Thanks for reminding me, and let's hope this things stays working. (Thinks are pretty snappy right now, so I suspect everythings should continue working great!) Thanks everyone! Nate
