My motivation wasn't because I expected problems with my computer. Nuts, I ran the distribution for what was - at the time - the sixth most popular web browser in the world off a 25MHz '030. DNS was running on a '486; there was no way it was going to collapse on me. I had that DNS setup because my ISP had a bandwidth cap, and usage charges if I went beyond it. DNS queries for my domains on their servers didn't count against the cap; queries to my servers did. I was just being cheapXXXXXX frugal. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
