As you may have realized by now, expecting the RaQ3 instructions to
teach you how to do DNS is about the same as buying a hammer and
expecting it to come with instructions on how to build a house <smile>.

I'll respond privately, since a lot of "cobalt-users" readers already
know I'm a proficient DNS specialist <very big smile>.

Let me point out that I read my "jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" only
sporadically, but I can always be reached quickly at my "support"
address and you can figure out what that is <smile>, though I don't
publish it on lists because I don't want it automatically scanned for a
spam-CD.

Frankly, I don't think they well, though the RaQ3 is a lot better than
the RaQ2.
