It's a good idea, but there's a whole bunch of domains, and I don't control them all. I need to ask the domain owners to change the IP addresses, and so the lag is not just the propagation time but also the owner-change time--thus I want to forward packets for at least a while. -- Adam Rosi-Kessel http://adam.rosi-kessel.org
