Hi, folks, Apologies for the delay in responding - I've been overwhelmed with client work. I'm catching up now from the Lulu Carpenter Cafe in sunny Santa Cruz, California. There are worse ways to spend lunchtime than by watching the surfers catch waves on Monterey Bay.

At some point it'd be nice to have DNS in New York as well as San Francisco and London, but in the meantime just helping me make sure Nagios runs well would be more than enough repayment. thanks, Graham _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
