Ohhhh...very cool. Makes perfect sense.
I'll give him some time to catch up on his email.
Thanks

I know that he does read this list. It's Brian, N1URO.
He may be busy; you can also write to me to get DNS entries done.
You only need to register in the DNS to allow Internet traffic
into your gateway. Other gateway systems can send to you even
if you don't have any registered hosts.
The reasons for using the DNS to filter inbound traffic are 1) to
enhance security of the subnets, 2) reduce the amount of crud being
sent to your subnet, and 3) to encourage people to register their
machines in the DNS.

Does anyone know if the network coordinator for

I emailed him about adding a couple A records for
me to get my 44 net
going
but haven't heard back. I got his callsign
off the portal network page
and
then had to go to QRZ to find his email. Not
sure if he still checks
the
email or not...so I figured I'd ask here.
Better question, why do we need to create a DNS entry for hosts to start
routing traffic from the 44 net to my gateway?
Thanks
