In fairness, it should be noted that at time when I've adminned hosting business, I always put in A records for both the bare domain and www, and config the web server to match; simple because The People (tm) at large somewhere along the line latched onto the idea that a domain is nothing but a name for a webpage (well, sometimes it's a name for email too). But on my personal stuff, I still take the opportunity to use a hierarchical namespace like it's a hierarchical namespace. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
