That may be possible, but it would not be a good idea. > - If not, are there free backup name server services? Yes. Your ISP probably offers free secondary name service. There are free secondary-only services available (I go with secondary.com, which offers up to 5 domains or 50 records for free). Or you can do it the old-fashioned way and offer to trade secondary name service with someone else. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Mr. Slippery
