Right.  I see that now.  we have hf.ampr.org to be the "virual" overall 
domain.  It would be served by a couple (hf1, hf2) physical machines. 
We need redundency to make this work.  No more single points of failure!!!

It would be cool if we added a bit to a users mailbox setup that flagged 
the global HF Net concept.  Maybe even have a couple different nets: 
HF general,  EmComm, Boaters, etc

ampr2.org/net/com is available for just that.  :-)

plain text at P1 has got to beat .doc files at P3 for the same content.  :-)
