See src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README for details. i've been wondering about this sort of entry in the dns table fro some time. i've asked several people about the posibilities and have been told that this particular habit is frowned upon and should be avoided. also, i've been trying to glean some infromation from the bible, aka mr craig hunts excellent tome 'tcp/ip network administration' from o'rielly and assoc. also, the dns & bind book by the way a new edition is out, ed 4 .. i think. all i've namaged to get is conflicting stories ranging from "its benign and not rela helpfull" to " it is the destruction of dns as we know it", to say the least i'm confused as i'm sure many others are who need this (same type of) facility. some enlightenment would be apreciated. warm regards and with much thanks in advance cheers jonathan -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia ===========================================================<jon@caamora.com.au> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
