Wahoo! *does squirrel dance*

I don't use it at all either (FP=*gag*) but I'll definitely get a guinea pig
user to help me test it. ;)
Right now the only person who's using FP on the machine has her own IP's so
it shouldn't be a problem as things stand.

As for the Raq4, that's the first time I've ever seen a screenshot of
it and I thank you for that. Unfortunately, as you can now surmise, I
am an ignoramus when it comes to that machine so I can't tell you
what the heck to put in those boxes!

You're welcome!
Usually I leave the Web Alias box alone and in the Email Alias box I put the
domain name without the 'www'.
Not even going to bother with email for BardBrain.Com though, don't have
time to work on the thing and if I do I'll just send email to my main
domain's addy.

Here's another question, if you have a moment.
When adding a client who is *transferring* from another host and they have
their own IP; should I leave the reverse off until the name propogates? From
what I surmise, the reverse would take you to the IP and then bounce you
back to the site on the original host's server. Leaving it off would let a
person view their site using the IP and bounce around within the directories
they make/upload with no problem.
Is that correct?

Thanks so much for your help, Alfredo!
