My personal opinion, though it doesn't account for much, is that they were testing out the new ways one can serve DNS from a MS-SQL database. Then again, they could just be smart and be paranoid. If I had a private network where security was required to be high, I'd have pulled the plug until the storm was over. Why take chances? Jack Bates BrightNet Oklahoma
