I should also point out that if the MX name was looked up at the time the GUI user enters it, then a change to the IP address for the MX name would not get picked up when a reload is done. If it is done, it should be done in the reload process. > Since Bersnstein may soon do this in tiny-data, perhaps you should not > bother putting it into gdiptinydns.pl. I could add the lookup to gdiptinydns.pl without a lot of work. I could also add a "back end" option that would allow one to specify a maximum time between reloads, so that a reload would get done at intervals, and pick up MX address changes. Let me know. -- Creighton MacDonnell http://macdonnell.ca/ -- GnuDIP Mailing List http://gnudip2.sourceforge.net/#mailinglist
