Hi folks, thought some of the members of the list, in particular anyone who uses a dynamic dns or static dns host through dhs.org would find this of interest. As many of you know I used one of their subdomains, 2y.net, for a while but had problems so witched to cjb.net. This forward is a lead-in of sorts to a post I intend to write on the subject of dynamic dns and dynamic dns providers as well however I'll write that one when I get home. Regards to all and if this post isn't appropriate for the list would someone be so kind as to advise so I won't forward posts such as the one below to the list.

DHS International has been working with our current and future ISP to minimise disruptions to users but due to circumstances beyond our control it will be impossible for us to maintain all normal services. In a few hours, the DHS International servers will be disconnected from the Internet to allow for shipping to a new hosting location. This means the following: Static IP hostnames and domain name services will remain in place Dynamic IP hostnames and domain name services will remain in place But no changes will be possible to any user records for a period of 7-10 days whilst the servers are shipped and re-installed at the new location. AtHome services will be unavailable for the shipping/install period and will be disfunctional for the full 7-10 days. We apologise for the inconvenience. We have striven to maintain all services but unfortunately it turns out to be impossible in this instance. You will be informed of all developments regarding this and other changes that may be forced on us in a further email after all plans are finalised. +==========================+ | Darryl (Dassa) Lynch | | CEO | |DHS International Pty Ltd| | http://www.dhs.org | +==========================+
