-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

This announcement relates to the reconfiguration of one of our
customer facing servers. Customers who use standard software such
as Turnpike or Windows with standard configurations will not be
affected by the following changes.

For a number of years the machine known to customers as
gate.demon.co.uk has also served as the DNS name server
ns0.demon.co.uk and as the time server ntp1.demon.co.uk
(also called time.demon.co.uk).

As part of our general policy of improvements we will be
separating the above functions to different machines in coming
weeks. Initially the functionality of gate.demon.co.uk will be
moved to a new machine.

The current shared IP address (158.152.1.65) will remain as
ns0.demon.co.uk since, as a name server, this address will be in
use in several Internet locations as a dotted quad.

For the present, time services will also continue to be supported
on 158.152.1.65. Customers are requested to change to using the
machine known as ntp.demon.co.uk (158.152.1.76). The ongoing usage
of the old address for time services will be monitored to assess
usage, but it is our intention to withdraw time service from this
machine at a future date without giving any further notice.

Time services on 158.152.1.65 may be withdrawn without notice at
some later date.

New IP addresses will be assigned to gate.demon.co.uk, (and at a
future date ntp1.demon.co.uk and time.demon.co.uk) - since customers
should only be accessing these services by their host names
(wherever practicable), this change of IP address should have no
effect on customers. Furthermore, these addresses (like most of our
services) are not guaranteed to remain constant in the future.

The change in IP address is scheduled to take place as follows:

   Wednesday 5th February 2003 between 09:00 and 17:30 GMT

Those customers who are still using the Demon DOS suite (ka9q) with
a very old configuration may find that this uses a dotted quad
for gate and services such as time.  Such customers should check
their configuration and make any necessary changes using host
names in place of IP addresses.

Full details for configuring systems to access our services can be
found at:
