Re: [cobalt-users] New guy...

["Greg" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the reason to be able for each domain to "look" like they have their own
name server is for resellers. They don't want the name server they are
pointing to to be mine... anyone who looks up his domain will see my name
server and go directly to the source for hosting. Each reseller will (or
should) want their own name server.

Thanks for the tip... I've been reading everthing out there... and I'll do
this one too.
