OK Barry - a very good entree into what I'm preparing.<BR>
At this point I ask your help - just a little!<BR>
<BR>
I'd like your permission to excerpt some of the text you prepared in response for inclusion into the jnos wiki.<BR>
Before answering, please visit <A HREF="http://k8rra.no-ip.org/jnosd">http://k8rra.no-ip.org/jnosd</A> to see what I'm up to.<BR>
Yours and more content belongs in the HostConfiguration section - it is missing much at this time.<BR>
You will find the file description end of the material is somewhat developed by following (clicking) the links:<BR>
SoftwareInstall - Host FILE Structure ... - HostFileSystemGlobal - DomainTxtFile<BR>
<BR>
Of course up to this time it is all only *my* opinion...:-(<BR>
<BR>
And my request really goes to other mail as well - back many months.<BR>
I won't include the bulk of our mail at this moment, (that level of detail is not warranted at this moment).<BR>
However we have "spoken" before on other configuration matters...<BR>
<BR>

for example:<BR>
This exchange is relevant because it is useful to understand both operation failure and software theory.

I pray this gives you a flavor of what I'd like to do?<BR>
<BR>
Oh yes - I appreciate the public nature of this reflector and solicit general opinion from others as well.<BR>
Please understand my uplink is DSL and about 256k (slow by todays standards).<BR>
If this becomes a community work, I'll find a reasonable server bandwidth when needed.<BR>
