Thanks Bruce...
hey gnhlug-listers- Thanks for the help.. I'm actually heading out for
the rest of the day (back in the late afternoon) now... I'll gladly
accept any step-by-step info on how to best get the in-addr.arpa stuff
into either MY threeofus.hosts file or, on what I need to instruct my
ISP to do... I *think* I have *part* of a class 'C' if such a thing is
possible.. I have 199.232.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8... But I think
that's it... is that possible?
