Remember that it won't be "known" to be authoritative to any other host on the internet until we make this change in our whois record on file with our registrar. So, it would accept mail that found its way to deleuze, which should only be things that come from the "test" configuration, i.e., mire right now. Since users know that it is a test setup anyway, it would seem to be counter-intuitive if things actually got back to fyodor from the test environment. I can't think of any other negative consequences associated with doing this, and I think it's important to make this step now so that we can configure things related to mail on the Peer 1 setup.
On a related note with the dns configuration at Peer 1, can we finally dump the ns.hcoop.net name and just use ns1.hcoop.net and ns2.hcoop.net? I think that it would make sense to do this now. It's probably not that important technically speaking, but I think that every other ISP configuration that I've seen uses ns hostnames with an integer after them to represent their name servers, and people expect to see this. _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
