This is like the "what is a business" discussions people have about phone companies and BBSes. Some insist that if the IRS says it's a business, it is. The basic problem is that PSInet and the NIC have different requirements: PSInet is selling service to a "single site", and is regarding a single site as either (a) a single location, or (b) a single machine. They need to clarify this point (one hopes that they mean a single site, since there are over 40 machines on the premises at "ferranti.com"), and remove the confusing language about domains. Domains are an administrative convention not necessarily related to sites. -- (peter@taronga.uucp.ferranti.com) `-_-' 'U`
