Like if they wanted to point www.muohio.edu at Scully.cas.muohio.edu they could. If they wanted the SMTP mailer to point to ns1.oar.net, all they have to do is change an address in the DNS. And one day po.muohio.edu might point to 127.0.0.1, that would confuse most people. ;) -- George Greer [log in to unmask] | Genius may have its limitations, but http://www.ham.muohio.edu/~greerga | stupidity is not thus handicapped.
