I can very much recommend being very patient. Network Solutions has not been real quick lately; I'm not sure why. I would recommend a two-step process, where you first update things so you have one server on your local network and leave the other elsewhere. If your DNS gets goofed up, no one can send you email which makes it very hard to respond to the forms that Network Solutions generates. I'm about to begin looking for someone to be a secondary DNS server for me, I would of course recipricate and be a secondary form them. I'd be happy to help you set this up. Sound good?
