Nah, don't say it that way. :) Don't forget, my whois record shows the same 
darn thing *grin*

Its also a very real statement that SVLUG is not multi-homed with redundant 
servers around the world co-located for optimum efficiency and reliability. 
That's expensive, and we like things free, hence we wrote our own OS :)  So 
if the primary NS dies, so, in all likelihood, does the web server. So does 
it truly matter if someone can get the IP address for the server they can't 
reach? No. :)  I picked SVLUG as an example only, not as a criticism.

Wow! are we going for connectivity, with geographically diverse redundant 
servers, or just something for backup NS/MX handling?
