Hello Ross.

I know this.

In this you apparently also do not know what you are talking about.

To use your condescending attitude:

Yo what's the IP address of f10.n134.z1.nl.sysgod.org?

sysgod.org DNS server responds: you need to check madmail.ods.org

Okay thanks.

Yo what's the IP address of madmail.ods.org?  Of a different server.

Oh that's ... blah blah.

That's twice as many queries for the same answer is it not?

Since both claim NOT to have that IP info on their servers, then it has to
be gotten from somewhere, correct?

That's two queries for an IP instead of one ... that would mean twice as
much bandwidth, yes?

Robert
