NS and MX records for many sites funnel thru a single link, their upstream provider. when their upstream provider fails, the site disappears from the internet. baase all the NS are lost mail bounces immediately. after 30 bounces, or so, i unsubscribe the site. i am asking you cooperate with other sites by providing secondary NS services to other FreeBSD sites in exchange for them providing the same service to you. the first person to volunteer is: Steve Roome. he can be reached at networks@vis.net.uk unless you have a scondary NS that is connected to the net via diferent providers at different pops via separate physical feeds (billy the backhoe wants you ;) you *need* this service ;) jmb -- Jonathan M.
