Bad, Bad, Bad.

What you *should* be asking is "Can anyone secondary my domains, please".
For preference, you should use two secondaries where possible.
I'll secondary domains for you if their use is not too high, but I pay 
$0.19 per MB of traffic, so I have to be a little careful with what I 
give away.  I won't secondary netscape.com or yahoo.com :-)
