There's nothing to alias it to, that's all the vm does, so that's what
it's called. The physical host will have a different IP & MAC.

As you say, that's not a realistic example, so I'm not sure what

At my day job, we are looking for a consultant to do some IPhone
development. We have some very interesting biz apps we are working
on.
If you do this kind of work, or know of a good developer located in
MA/NH, please reply to me off list. (Yeah, I know about ZCo.)

Open for me means, I, as a consumer or business, I buy bandwidth from
a provider. If a bandwidth provider says they will deliver me 10M

I would think an alias (CNAME) to "smtp" would be easier still... ;-)

The 'sooner' part is very hard because the government:

poles are placed.

It really depends on the environment. The more commoditized things
are, the less sense it makes to have fancy names. If you've got a 100

Thank you so much for the link to Synergy-Plus. On my desk are now

Not for years - that's one of their problems in that they have to
both deliver anywhere and avoid a debt (not necessarily make a
profit).

I've always felt that at a minimum servers deserve real names. The first
naming convention I saw was on my first Unix account, SunOS boxes in CS at
University of Hartford, named after movie computers (hal, skynet). At a
previous job, we had HP-UX servers named after characters in Johnny Quest

Please explain "open Internet".
The Internet is not "open" in the sense of a public park, and never
has been. Not in the US, anyway. That idea is a romantic myth.

Yah. At $WORK, desktops and laptops have generic names (a static
prefix followed by a number), because they're commodities,
interchangeable and uninteresting. We only hav
