The fields in the RTCH resource are stored as signed bytes, so any number
larger than 128 will "converted" (read: displayed) as a different negative
number. Example: 129 is displayed as -127, 130 as -126 and 150 as -106,
etc. You can enter numbers larger than 128 without problems, but the next
time you open the resource they have changed. If you want to find the
actual value of a number which is displayed with a minus sign, just
subtract the value displayed from 256, example: 256 - 106 = 150

You can modify this recource to suit your needs. Some users using
subdomains on intranets which are behind firewalls, change the resource so
that the TLD server on the intranet is designated as a root server.
Allowing users to change the root server info directly from within QuickDNS
Pro Admin is planned in a future version of QuickDNS Pro.
