It doesn't matter about the distributed servers though people like to delude themselves. In the end, there is only one master server and the rest are all slaves that pick their information form this one master server. So whoever controls this, in a way owns the internet. The others are there for load balancing and resilience issues. -- Noah. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Today's Excellence is tomorrow's mediocrity" --Robb Thompson _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
