A "business" account here buys you the same service as a home user for more money and 24X7 almost all the time service. ;-) Now that I have a better idea about your service, you'll be a lot better off letting the isp be your 2nd DNS server. That way, if your machine blows up, folks can still view your web site, send you email, etc. [remainder snipped for brevity] Gene To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
