OK here's my 2 cents, why not combine the two and have: node.state.priv.au eg: node.vic.priv.au Could you really see the demand getting that big that you'd want a seperate letter to break them up? I think the .priv.au is a good idea though. What about the private (or some anyway) systems in the .pub.uu.oz.au domain? >kre -richard ps: whatever happened to the great aus.* news reorg? :) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard A.
