Seems to be a >very bad descision ;-( Agreed. I thought the same thing. Also, oldest servers are usually in the beginning of the block, since we tend to start from the beginning and work towards the end (well, perhaps I speak for myself). The servers around longest are also probably more likely to have more information on them and be more useful: Take webservers, for example. As time passes, I've seen more and more activity to our oldest webservers simply because there are more links on the web, more content (I think it was Einstein who first figured out time and content are related) and more entries in search engines. And let's not forget our routers, which are usually .1 in the first /24 :) Steve - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
