[clug] TransAct ISP

[John Fletcher]

Thanks everyone.  I like the idea of assurance and simplicity so I think
I'll look into Goldweb.

Nonetheless on a point of interest, I thought that since these name server
lookups get cached it can take a while for a change to propogate, especially
to "out there" places like Russia...?

I use a dynamic IP to a mail server and have not seen any problems.
I'm with transact/actewagl and have only had 3 IP addresses in the
last 5 weeks so the chances of me getting hit during a change are slim.
I guess the probability is greater than zero though.

It would need for someone to get allocated my old IP address during the
intervening 2-6 minutes for an actual bounce to occur.
