Why should people contact dnsadm@ if they want to add hosts to nz.freebsd.org? Why minimize email traffic and have the the person in charge of nz.freebsd.org send site contact details to dnsadm@ for record keeping purposes. It put the work where it should be. In the region. That frees up the dnsadm@. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/
