Although see my previous post discussing why this might not help as much as one would expect if you're going to keep doing availability checks until you find a certain number of available names: http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0201/0331.html I was talking about my experience using NS lookups, but you'd have the same issues with zone files. (And no, I haven't switched to the SF version yet, so I haven't tried parallelizing the lookups. By the way, what's happening with the SF version? I thought it was supposed to become the default a release or two ago, but that talk seems to have been de-emphasized.) -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies "The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was."
