Re: [PLUG] routing question....


I agree, especially since I have been my primary DNS for about 10 years
using a 24/7 dialup PPP connection!!!  I have 13 domains so I don't want
to bother DCAnet with it. Besides I guess I like the control!

I am not sure what my average uptime was over the ten years but there were
times when I was down for hours at a time. This is no big deal. The
outside secondaries take up the slack and MX servers buffer the mail.
Sometimes I think we forget where we came from and how it use to be.
