[nos-bbs] DNS requirements

[(Skip) K8RRA]

OK Barry - a very good entree into what I'm preparing.
At this point I ask your help - just a little!

I'd like your permission to excerpt some of the text you prepared in
response for inclusion into the jnos wiki.
Before answering, please visit http://k8rra.no-ip.org/jnosd to see what
I'm up to.
Yours and more content belongs in the HostConfiguration section - it is
missing much at this time.
You will find the file description end of the material is somewhat
developed by following (clicking) the links:
SoftwareInstall - Host FILE Structure ... - HostFileSystemGlobal -
DomainTxtFile

Of course up to this time it is all only *my* opinion...:-(

And my request really goes to other mail as well - back many months.
I won't include the bulk of our mail at this moment, (that level of
detail is not warranted at this moment).
However we have "spoken" before on other configuration matters...

I pray this gives you a flavor of what I'd like to do?

Oh yes - I appreciate the public nature of this reflector and solicit
general opinion from others as well.
Please understand my uplink is DSL and about 256k (slow by todays
standards).
If this becomes a community work, I'll find a reasonable server
bandwidth when needed.
