	Funny it works for me!

	My Raq3 is acting as both Primary and Secondary DNS. Although 
this is NOT the best solution, it works just fine. I just assigned a 
different IP address for the secondary. My IDC has provided me (at a 
small cost) with a 1/16th of a Class 3 license (16 IP addresses), so 
I have a few that I can play with.
	FYI.     ; )
