That's more or less what I've been doing with my domain, SF-Bay.ORG. I've got 3 sites that want to have domain addresses without having to deal with the NIC or UUNET or whomever.

Trying to figure out how to make one of the hosts at work act as a backup MX host is quite a mystery to me. -- Scott Hazen Mueller | scott@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG or (ames|pyramid|vsi1)!zorch!scott 10122 Amador Oak Ct.|(408) 253-6767 |Mail fusion-request@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG Cupertino, CA 95014|Love make, not more|for emailed sci.physics.fusion digests SF-Bay Public-Access Unix 408-996-7358/61/78/86 login newuser password public
