Two really - you can keep the name alive on ACSnet, by having someone establish a foreign link to you, which is just fine. Or, you can abandon the name completely - I don't go about deleting old oz.au records from the DNS when that happens, so (Internet style) mail will get through (mail from ACSnet sites will typically bounce, as that would just be routed over ACSnet, which won't know what to do). However, the name has been abandoned, and once that happens anyone else who wants it can have it - if somone picks the name you've given up then your old DNS records will be removed (whether or not they decide to put their entry into the DNS - having the same name mean different things in different places would be a disaster). kre
