	Hm...  One thing I'm wondering about is: wwould I have to 
	bother switching my interNIC  registery?   It might be
	vastly simpler to make *this* (TAO) 249 and FUBAR 248; 
	then FUBAR  could be my new NS1.THOUGHT.ORG as it is 
	currently in Network Services' records.

	Any pointers to the `mailhub' config would be welcome.
	DNS AND BIND reads like a novel ;  the big blue sendmail 
	tome gives me the shivers :-)/2.

	thanks for your mail,
	gary
