Several people (not "a lot") think that slaving the root zone makes some good operational sense in specific scenarios. One person thought that the world would be a better place if it were operationally possible. NOBODY thinks that this will work in the real world, today, in a stable manner. NOBODY thinks that having *every* home user slaving the root makes good sense, even if it was operationally possible. And NOBODY thinks that "just doing it without asking first" was a good way to handle it. I'm really not sure why I wasted the keystrokes to write this, because you've been consistently willing to ignore pretty much everything said to you so far. I guess I'm just praying that perhaps, just maybe, this time you'll start paying attention. -- Jo Rhett senior geek Silicon Valley Colocation Support Phone: 408-400-0550
