Hi Deji.
The first reason is because I really don't know enough about DNS or AD to
comfortably pull something like that off. I'm still reading books on the
subject.
The second reason, and most important reason, is because my IT director and
his right hand employee would never go for a change like that because they
know even less than I do. You know, office politics.
I will look into your suggestion by experimenting on my home network.
Thanks Deji.
Jim
