Hi Everybody!

Well, after trying unsuccessfully to get our FreeBSD 3.3 server to update the
server at pair.com - I am about ready to give up.  I received the above from their
support.

We have a tiny ISP on a back island with a few small domains (typical apache
structure), and not much traffic at all.  Our domains host our tiny ISP, our web
page design, and a few "Beach Resorts" which are just cottages on the island.  We
have one small "Advanced" account with pair.com, which "Includes use of System CGI
scripts, 60Mb disk space, 200Mb/day traffic, system CGI" - for which we have never
even come close to using 1/6 of this amount!  You can read all about the "Advanced"
account at http://www.pair.com/pair/services.html

Actually, we really like pair.com - they have given good service - except that we
need to be up at 2AM to upload our files!

We use a "split DNS" so inside customers see our servers for this, so we thought it
should be easy to have that server upload whatever changes were made each day...
From our server to the server at pair.com... but I haven't found a way.

We maintain our own DNS and pair seconds (slaves) the outside copy.

My boss, who used to do all of this, has been in the hospital with a kidney problem
six times since last October - so it has gotten more important to automate this and
let him rest at night.

So now we are looking for a hosting company, with a good connection to the
Internet, at about the same price as pair.com, that will let us use rsync (or
something like it) on a FreeBSD server for our simple little mirror.

Any volenteers?

Thanks,

Love

PS to pair.com... my boss has the account, I am just doing the automation because
he has been so ill.  Because the question was more of a "general inquiry" in
nature, and not a problem, I didn't see a need to have him write.  The domain was
the same as my email.

Also, I wouldn't mind us running the rsync server on our box.  Can we run a rsync
client on your end?
