Hi
Good answer , Dave , thanks a bundle...
The sORe thing about having my ISP as my DNS server is that I don't want
them to know which sites I am hosting...That makes me feel a little
nervous.and that sux to ask them everytime and wait 2-4 hours for them to
answer my request.
And I would like to join that project if you ppl don't mind , Just tell me
which corner of the work could an "INEXPERIENCED" admin like me cover...hehe
no offense joe!

Thanks and regards

- Evan
