Hi All,

I was away from my mail yesterday, and so I can comment on this thread only
now.

First, I would like to suggest that you use another regsitrar, as there are
plenty regsitrars that will charge you $8.99 or less (I recently payed that
much for a .com domain). I used Mad Dog domains, BTW.

Second, Those A records aren't too standard. AFAICR, (and it's early
morning, so my mileage might vary), the RFC for this states that an IP
address be given only one A record, and this IP address is already assigned
"vipe.stud.technion.ac.il". I suggest that you define a CNAME record, rather
than an A record, which points to vipe.stud.technion.ac.il.

Third, I can offer you an NS service on vipe itself, and can point you at
several free secondary NS services around, such as
http://www.granitecanyon.com , for added redundancy.

Fourth, the MX record will be better off pointing to
vipe.stud.technion.ac.il and not vipe.technion.ac.il. This is the A record
for vipe, and so some MTAs may refuse to transfer mail to vipe, since
reverse lookups will point to another name. Although this is an RFC
recommendation, I remember some user we had at vipe a few years ago couldn't
mail us from Argentina (using some weird MTA) for this reason.

Hello again.

These are the DNS records that haifux.org has currently:

A  haifux.org     132.69.253.254
A  www.haifux.org 132.69.253.254

MX haifux.org     vipe.technion.ac.il

Unless a debate about these entries is going to start: Shachar, we 
warmly accept your offer. Please set DNS servers up on these records, 
and inform me (possibly privately) about the servers' preferable access 
names.

Thanks,

   Eli
