We *tried* to run DNS on such a server (400 hosts), and it kept dying, not starting, etc *after* the IP aliases were defined. It would do fine if we started *before*. We ended up moving the DNS server to a different machine (it was only a secondary) instead of reading the source code due to time constraints. -- Jason Fesler jfesler@calweb.com Internic: 'whois jf319' Admin, CalWeb Internet Services http://www.calweb.com Junk email returned, in bulk, back to sender; w/copies to all postmasters.
