But in case mail, collectively or to-me-personally bounces in the next few days, my thought.org domain may disappear for days/weeks/centuries. My HW buddy whom I've known since the late 70's has just driven his teenager to the airport for her flight home; we (or *I*-- since I think that DNS is more of a software issue than hardware --we are about to get serious about swapping an antique cheeeep DNS server for a high-end (yes, of course *used*) server. Without the HW assist I'd be up various creeks without paddles. This is the time to make hey.///hay(sp?). --If there are any stsyem admin wizards in the 98100 ZIP code who want to stop by and point out what idiot things I've been mis-configuring, any/all help would be appreciated. thanks people, PS: ( Vacation time arrows by faster than the speed of light... but at least my backside has time to mend from horseback riding for a couple years. [Even further OT: do any of you kknow where th e attraction between girls <-> horses comes from?? --gotta be one of these 'mysteries'....]) -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
