Contrary to what many puntits would have you believe, you don't need to be in a domain and be running AD just to serve up static HTML. Beware such pundits - they are probably trying to sell you either a software or hardware upgrade. ;) You don't even need to be running Win2K. I hear even NT 4.0 does a passable job once you install all the IIS patches. ;) > > From: Eric Germann [mailto:[email protected]] > > > > Uhh, I highly doubt they have a requirement to run DDNS on > > the front ends.

DDNS is a pre-req for AD, As Eric said.... you don't need bells and whistles. And if you're building a machine that *has* to work, you probably want to avoid bellls and whistles, as broken bell and whistle parts get jammed in the gears and cause failures....
