What would be even more useful would be if you read up on how BIND works.
As long as you have one reachable root server in your hint zone you'll end up
with them all in your cache.

Perhaps it's time to bar posting privileges from those who insist on
remaining entirely anonymous?
I doubt that anyone who has anything substantive to offer would need to
use a hushmail/yahoo/etc. return address.
The initial posts from Bandy, Vaul, et al were mildly amusing at first,
but the novelty wore out very quickly.

Sorry, but Wrian Ballingford just didn't have a good "ring", so I needed
to improvise.
Hi Brian,
I know other people have posted about this, re almost getting fired.
Many companies now are adopting "new" rules regarding employee's posting
on listserves. The policy here is that employees must get another
address through aol or yahoo or some other free mailserve if they want
to participate in listserve discussion. The reason is spam, supposedly.
My boss knows I post here, and he doesn't care that I use my work mail
address. I'm smart enough to deal with spam myself. (at least he thinks
so 
The point is, that there are many companies now, at least in the Wash
metro area, that are requiring employees to use an alternate mail
address for any listserves they participate in.
Hope this sheds more light on the subject.

Literally any posting to any forum that cannot be absolutely described as
"personal" is grounds for immediate dismissal.
Things are getting rough out there. First it was SLAPP suits, and now they
just build it into your contract. Of course, if you sign, then I guess
you've got it coming, but still...

There's only 6 of us.. but thanks to this discussion, we have implemented
a company policy about participating in listserve using company e-mail
addresses (note I am using my personal one here though.. just cuts down
noise from my critical email address):
HTS Policy for listserves and personal e-mail using work related
addresses:
1. Before asking ANY technical questions, make sure you have RTFM
and done a decent search on Google FIRST.
2. If you communicate something that implies you have done something
that may be illegal or questionable, even in jest, we will not
post bail.
3. Please use a seperate address (it can be on our domain) for
non time-sensitive materials (most listserv's).
