If you've got a fixed IP address assigned to you, I would suggest that you check out getting a free secondary nameserver via the Nominum GNS project -- these guys have a network of high-availability nameservers distributed around the world, and (last I looked) the entry level service is available at no charge. See <http://www.secondary.com/>; for more information. IMO, this would be better than having your ISP set up as a secondary for your domain (if you need to change ISPs, you can just change the IP address that GNS/secondary.com pulls a copy of your zones from, and everything else automatically moves with you). Of course, the best solution of all would be to get both your ISP and GNS/secondary.com to be secondaries for your domain (you'll want to think about setting up reverse DNS, and your ISP may be suspicious if they work with you to do this but they aren't a secondary for your domain). -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> /* efdtt.c Author: Charles M.
