When I got my position at BlitzNet, there were three different IP addressing schemas in use. Each of the former SAs was putting internal IPs, hosted machines and the dial-up pool in different places. Yes, as you can imagine, it was one hell of a mess. The dial-up IP pool encompassed a number of the hosted website IPs that we had, so web sites may or may not be available, etc. One of the most important things that an ISP does is handle DNS. Without it, your traffic doesn't go where it needs to go, and your users go elsewhere. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
