Actually, that's not the case - www.topazdesigns.com is just an alias (CNAME for the DNS cognoscenti) for topazdesigns.com, and both should resolve to the same address. If you're getting different results for the two names, that's peculiar. This is one of the perils of running a website on the cheap - my ISP may change the IP address suddenly, and without notice. I have the DNS records set up such that when a change occurs, the old info should expire from nameserver caches and be replaced within 3 hours... but apparently a lot of ISP nameservers override this and keep the old info for 2 days or more. Nice to know the site was missed, anyway... :-) Barry -- Barry McLarnon VE3JF Ottawa, ON _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
