at the risk of exposing another 'religious' issue-- let's say you have a static IP 12.34.56.78 and a public domain name 'mydomain.org' attached to it.
now you add a private internal lan using 192.168.*.* so your spouse and kids can surf for bomb recipes and porn... what kind of naming setup do you use for the intRAnet? something totally different from the public access point ("timmy.my.lan" for example) or do you branch off the original public name ("timmy.private.mydomain.org" for example)? ...and explain your rationale. thanks! -- It is always hazardous to ask "Why?" in science, but it is often interesting to do so just the same. -- Isaac Asimov, 'The Genetic Code' [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://newbieDoc.sourceforge.net/ -- we need your brain! http://www.dontUthink.com/ -- your brain needs us!
