See Miheer's responses to get answers to your actual questions (they are correct). But I had to respond, just to get the jab in, that if you have any issue of needing to use IP's instead of DNS because of a transition of servers, then the admins in charge don't know what they are doing and/or the service provider/DNS host sucks. There should be little incident of an outage of this nature, its 100% possible to transition mail (or any other servers for that matter), with a no or very minor service interruption. Probably another shinning example of an IT admin who thinks he knows everything because A: He uses MS products, B: He's got himself one of them thar MCSE certifications, and C: He went to skool for com-poo-ters. (my company does a study every year that interviews Computer Science people... BS, MS, and Profs at universities... the knowledge these people have is laughable at best, and down right SCARY that they are graduating with a degree in a topic that they know little to nothing about... it scares me when I think about what people in other majors must be graduating with... maybe this is why there has been a growing trend to hire people that have been doing the work, and not just studying it) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
