And groovee.com? What then?              Like Barry said, "reverse DNS" is at the heart of what you're asking.       Once you understand the concept, you will realize that the differences       in BigCo and you are really scale and what types of connections you       have, plus who's in control of said connections.              But specifically "reverse DNS".              > Thanks :)              :-)                            --       Grant. . . .       unix || die              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
