But there would still be only one authority. I have an excellent idea. If we can all work together like this, why don't we just put all the hostnames and IP addresses, and all sorts of other info in a flat file that people could get off of a common ftp (or web) site. We could call such a file HOSTS.TXT. I think it could work... :-) ---> Phil - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
