You need to expiration dates to be correct on both so that they are both billed properly.

It would be nice, and it actually did used to work that way, but it was slow. Because every time an expiration date changed, the system had to see if the account had any slaves, then if they did, go change them. So it was slower than it was worth. So now, slave expiration dates are for nothing more than informational purposes only, and when indexes are rebuilt, it also rebuilds the slave indexes to the master... So whenever indexes are rebuilt, all the slave data reflects that of the master. - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
