But using "further" away DNS´s _will_ affect your browsing speed, eg if netscape wants to connect to a page with lots o banners or otherwise linked other sites there´s easily 20-30 dns-lookups per page, and netscape does them one after one, so there are seconds lost sometimes before netscape even gets the the whole page html-wise... &rw -- / Robert Waldner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Phone: +43 1 89933 0 Fax x533 \ \ KPNQwest/AT tech staff | Diefenbachg. 35 A-1150 Wien /
