So he wrote a message to some popular moderated mailing list. He claims that once the moderator approved his message, and it started to go out to all the subscribers, their mail servers started resolving his domain name (which wasn't in anybody's cache), to the point that his Pentium (or whatever) computer could not handle it and crashed a few times. Would anybody care to comment on this? Anyone running their own primary DNS off a home computer on a cable modem/DSL line? -- Arcady Genkin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
