Yes, but it is used for many other things too, so impossible to move elsewhere in case a machine goes down temporarily. The .upload.d.o aren't used for anything else, so it is *easy* to move them around. Which enables us to keep the upload queue working even if ries would be down for only a day or so (which is no reason to do the lot of work to have all moved thats attached to the ftp-master name). (Of course shorter downtimes wont benefit from this, as it takes DNS a while to update and planned downtimes (like for reboots) dont really warrant such things. But anything more...) -- bye, Joerg <Zugschlus> Sven Luther hat doch eine schwere Wahrnehmungsstörung, oder? <Zugschlus> der Mann ist ja schlimmer als ich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
