On the plus side, once the registration is in there you can change the IPs for the host entry and not have to update every single domain entry using that host. Of course, if you use a non-verisign aligned registrar, host adds and domain updates usually happen instantaneously so the registration burden is much less :) -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
