Theo, Perhaps you misunderstood what I said. I have no gripe or issue with the openbsd project. It's unarguable that having a CNAME record at the apex of a domain can lead to issues. I'm sure someone as intelligent and accomplished as yourself can find the relevant documentation.
I could care less if openbsd.org has an A record; www.openbsd.org is an A record, cname or any other type of record; or if the two domain names resolve to the same place or not. I was simply expanding on the technical point that openbsd.org should not be a cname. Thanks, -- Josh Smith KD8HRX Email/jabber: juice...@gmail.com Phone: 304.237.9369(c) Sent from my iPhone.
