[aprssig] noam.aprs2.net

[Phil - AD6NH]

I will double check all of the IP entries in the rotate.aprs2.net and 
the noam.aprs2.net addresses to make sure there are no stale records.  I 
keep a pretty close watch on them, but sometimes one slips by.  I have 
also decided to reduce the number of entries for each of our round-robin 
domains to a maximum of 8 addresses, to prevent any potential problems. 
  It was discovered recently that we had hit a UDP byte limit on the 
answer, which caused an auto-retry using TCP.  Well, that's fine, but 
not all of the world's DNS servers allow TCP port 53.  At any rate, that 
should all be fixed, but I will double check.
