In this case the old ip is even still working. J and A were at the same location so J's old ip has just been redirected to A. Considering that this file hasn't been updated from Aug 1997 - Nov 2002, I really can't imagine the need for a monthly cron. I also don't think internic would appreciate us nailing their ftp site once a month looking for the update. Nor can we count on when this file gets updated 5 years from now that that URL will be valid. Probably the best thing to do is just make the SRPM download the file from that ftp site. :) Guarantees new packages will always have the correct file. <sarcasm> Besides with as often as we put out security updates for bind, it'll even get updated for old distro versions. </sarcasm> -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.
