Any ideas out there on a nice scheme? dsmith> Thanks, Here's an idea - assuming that there are not multiple "jefferson" schools in one town, you could do something like jefferson.city_code.edu where city_code is the code that is used by the weather service to identify towns (also used, in some casses, to identify airports). For instance, Central High School in Omaha, NE would be named central.oma.edu Regards, -=Chris -- Chris Swanson, C.U.
