Should you have any other suggestions regarding the .de domain, speak to me. I'm currently routing *.de, *.sub.org, and *.leo.org via mail-relay.de.freebsd.org, which is actually an MX consisting of two machines where we've got permission of the owners to dump them the mail load for the .de domain. If you know of further domains that would benefit from this, or of major .de subdomains that should _not_ be routed via Germany in the first place (since they don't have a cross-connection to the WiN), let me know. If you have other .de subdomains that would better go to a different MX, get the permission of that MX, and tell it, too. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
