We shouldn't be worrying about these questions now. The main thing to
get going is the database design, rather than chatting about random things.
Sure, seul can provide dns for you, tho you'll be a bit far away.  If you
set up a Linux machine and say "Roger, make this secure and mildly
well-configured", I'll do it. Nuff said. :)

In other news, I've been being mostly silent lately because a) i'm
way over-loaded with classes, and b) I figure the fewer messages to distract
people from doing useful work, the better. :}

But I'm still here and listening.
