wow, I'd like to thank everyone who keeps sending me replies to my dns questions. Every last one has been of some help and I will be using all the reference material and links sent me when I begin the work. My intent had been to use my small 3 PC network as a test victim for the real thing: a 30 PC network which I am responsible for.
