Someone pointed out to me, off-list, that the root servers use a minimum TTL value of 2 days. This puts a kink in the plans. Therefore, if at all possible, you'll want to put your DNS data on an outside server. Then you'll want to request that Internic add this new server to their record for your domain. When they make this change, wait 48 hours, then change your addresses, your modem, and your DNS (and especially the copy on the new, outside server). Hopefully, your ISP can be convinced to host your domain for you until this all gets cleared up. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com http://www.menandmice.com
