No apologies necessary. The mirror services have been restored. I apologise for the incendiery tone of my original email; I was pretty upset. Mr. Lapeyre and I have continued to correspond via private mail and I feel we've got everything worked out. An important point to consider in this particualr case: The PTR record for "24.220.0.13" resolves to "pavlov.midco.net" rather than "debian.midco.net" which would certainly be more obvious in most cases. Unfortunately, there are issues with changing the PTR record to a more "correct" value, as the machine has other responsibilities. My co-workers and I are plannig to purchase a new system board, processor and case which along with some hardware donations ( :) ) will become "debian.midco.net", leaving pavlov to his more mundane tasks. This should prove beneficial to both the project and Midcontinent. (If anyone wants to contribute something, let me know. I think we've got it mostly covered.) -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
