A well known fact, which leads right into your next comment...
24 hours + outage whilst stale dns disappears will never do in internet retail.
And yet, with 90% of the net implementing the "will never do" scenario, we manage to get a lot of internet retail done anyhow. I'm obviously going to need a *lot* more caffeine to sort through that conundrum....
OR, it *could* be that the retailers know about the way 'things' operate and don't make many changes once they get their site up... ------------------------------------------------------------------- I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes. I will surely learn a great deal today. "A democracy is a sheep and two wolves deciding on what to have for lunch.

You don't know many retailers, do you? :-) Besides, changes to the site wouldn't help or hurt a network fault. -- TTFN, patrick
