I don't think (or am not aware) that having two ISP's have DNS entries would really be a problem. I moved my domain from one ISP to another and the previous ISP kept the DNS entry for well over a year. It was never a problem unless I happened to be using that ISP (which was rare) and I wanted to 'talk' to my domain at the new ISP. Obviously there will be a conflict there... but since I was aware of the problem, I didn't let it be an issue. As far as the 'outside' world was ever concerned, I had moved my DNS entry the minute that the root servers had been updated to point to the new ISP. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
