A lot of folks ELECT to use a secondary DNS as their primary DNS as that secondary DNS offers improved resistance to and/or protection from spam and access to suspicious sites. Sure, your ISP will automatically give you access to two or more of THEIR DNSes, but you are not required to use these to resolve your net accesses. Heck, you can even operate your own DNS. Or use a DNS which is not one of yours. At one point, I had several TLDs registered with one of the "usual suspects". Then I switched all my new business to another. Yet, I forgot to change the DNSes on those previously registered TLDs. I was, thereby, able to maintain the same level of service as I had before (email forwarding, etcetera), with the old registrar, yet I was no longer one of their customers. After I discovered this oversight on my part, I changed the name servers to point to the new ones, and those problems went away. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
