thought I'd let you guys know of a dual-stack managed dns provider I found: https://www.zerigo.com/managed-dns I'll probably sign up later, but first, I must sleep :) bbl managed dns provider == web interface? or they do all your dns for you via tickets? Judging by their site, the former. does Arp do anything special for getting it's OpenBSD client's networking interfaces to work in QEMU? Is the e1000 driver not finding your interfaces? well, the interface is there, and it worked during the install but it doesn't work anymore a_j__c: can you be more specific? when I was installing, the interface I was using was working perfectly fine and now when I boot to OpenBSD I can't hit my DHCP server I'm prolly overlooking something ARP offers DHCP? nono this is at my place, was just wondering if there was something special they do You have a DHCP server at your house and you're trying to use it from your VPS? DHCP doesn't work across broadcast domains. no this has nothing to do with arpnetworks i was just wondering if there were any tricks they use here is all :) It "just works" AFAICT. Static assignments. hmm weir d weird* thanks though Sigh.. okay, is it better off keeping my current dedicated server or going with a VPS for teamspeak.. I have this person who is adament about me not switching to a vps if you have it why not give it a try? Nobody: if you have $10/$20 to give it a try, give it a try Nobody: some things to note: a virtual server isn't always fully comparible to a dedicated server, i.e.: a virtual server doesn't have direct access to the physical hardware timing clock - I know in the past, software like Asterisk has had performance problems as a result - although they've now worked around the issue, also KVM I believe isn't as bad off with the issue, you will have less resources, I don't know about the teamspeak requirements, but the Nobody: on the other hand, you may find you can get more resources cheaper that sorta thing, some of the dedicated servers aren't that great Nobody: it may seem like a cliche', but only you can tell :) IMHO, a VPS is a great value compared to a dedicated server. it's generally easier to manage a VPS (for a lower cost) for both you and your provider mattx86: yeah, hence why I'm saying spend the 10/20 bucks to give it a try mattx86: but I'm also acknowledging that it deosn't always work for everything as well, in comparison G: true
