I also made the changes at NSI so that one of the name server entries pointed to the old name server IP block and one to the new name IP block. Since those changes can take awhile I considered this an appropriate way at the time. Then after we got totally on the new network I changed the remaining NSI pointer. -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
