From a colo machine I can reach my internal servers. One small question for the DNS wizards out there:: are the last ".in-addr.arpa" lines considered good-form? Can I blow them away or uncomment them? (I am considering building an internal mailserver [yes, with Postfix--it is better than sendmail]. iF and when I unload my DNS server, be nice to know.) thanks for any insights, gary #--- $TTL 600 @ IN SOA sage.thought.org. root.sage.thought.org.
