DNS Server woes

[Dr. G]

It's for a sister company (sort of), and if they DID have a Linux admin,
they don't now. In any case, the server isn't OWNED by us, we just help them
with computer/network issues.

And, I actually have that site, and a few other,s  open right now. So I
guess thats all I need, except some for some of my books at home anyways.
