Mark - please help a novice net person learn the ways of a master ("you are not a Jedi yet..."). 1. What do I read to learn about "domains" and how it affects me 2. Is UUCP really an official domain (I've heard it's not) 3. How does my local 5 machine ethernet net (wow!) fit in to this, and should I really have it set up as an ARPA domain internally (all internal mail says "user@host.ARPA") 4. If internally the net should not be .ARPA, can I make up a name like .GCC ? does .LOCAL exist ? These may sound like like stupid questions, but hopefully others also share my confusion. One standard set of answers might bring us all in line. Thanks again. -- J Bradford Parker uucp: seismo!harvard!gcc-opus!brad "Somebody take him into the back and plug him into the HyperDrive!" - Hann Solo refering to C3PO.
