Hi Ward,  A few people have already provided an explanation about those
entries, but no one has really explained what you need to do.

Nick has explained the current traffic situation/stats very well.  But you
don't need to run any scripts or mess with CNAME or MX or anything like that,
right now.  All you want to accomplish right now is "point forward" the domain
fidonet.org (which is in your control) to the servers that Joacim's host is
using.

So, instead of..

1st. Name Server: NS.BOFH.IT
2nd. Name Server: NS.FIDONET.ORG.UA

...put in the server names that Joacim's ISP is using.  Joacim should be able
to tell you that.

Then all Joacim has to do is create a local domain as "fidonet.org" on his
ISP's Control Panel. He then can point that name to the directories where he
has built the fidonet.io pages.

But, all you have to do is the 1st and 2nd fields above.

Don't worry about MX (for mail) and CNAME or any of that other stuff at this
point.

Hope this helps!
