Works for me, though barraging the mailing list with irrelevant and basically useless quibbles about how 'Well, you actually _can_ point an IP to multiple FQDNs' doesn't seem really useful, offhand.
i didn't "barrage the list with irrelevant quibbles". the fact is that you're the one who was quibbling - you made a mistake and kept coming up with lame arguments trying to prove that it wasn't. YOU said "because an IP can reverse to only one [...] " That *IS* factually incorrect, contradicts numerous examples in documentation and on the net, and would lead to confusion and misunderstanding if left uncorrected. YOU could have left it at that - it is, after all, a minor mistake and NO BIG DEAL TO BE CORRECTED OVER. you seemed to have done that at first but then decided to start quibbling a few days later. like i said, you're human. like everyone else you'll occasionally make mistakes. it's no big deal. learn to deal with it. brow-beating anyone who dares to correct one of your mistakes is neither gracious nor dignified. in fact, it's tedious, tiresome, and obnoxious. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
