Re: [gentoo-user] Re: OT Good DNS registrar?
Are there any readers of this list that still provide their own primary/secondary dns services? Or offer secondary services to others for a fee or free?

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Need help correcting my DNS configuration
It's a local setup. I don't even know if my ISP will allow me to run a public DNS server. My last ISP didn't. This is purely intra-espersunited.com so that when the cable Internet goes out (which it frequently does) my applications which require knowing what host they're running on. They don't seem to be smart enough to look at /etc/hosts. Some people on one of my Linux lists suggested that if I set up DNS for my network that shouldn't be a problem anymore... Ah, ok. Yeah, split-horizon DNS does work quite well.. just a bit more to update. I lost your original post, or I'd be more useful.

I believe the 4400 had a SCSI CD-ROM device too. You may have the older Megaraid controller, which seems to seriously lack support in the newer LiveCDs.

The vulnerability allows certain misformatted long message headers to cause spam checking to take a very long time. While the exploit has yet to be seen in the wild, we are concerned that there may be attempts to abuse the vulnerability in the future.
