I know nothing of this. what would a custom subdomain at arpnetworks do for you anyway? i don't know how can i look through all of arp's dns entries? there is a cust subdomain that has subs off of it for clients "How can I get a list of ARP's customers" <-- translated nah and i resent that implication anyway, i already found the info haha the new year is starting off good :) (i finally feel like i'm over my cold that last over a week!) $5.08 Congrats up_the_irons d'oh s#$5.08## yeah wait... (Just pretend I escaped that properl) why am i getting 5 bucks? I jotted down a note in IRC... I do it quite often. And about as often forget about it after I'm done and inadvertently send it along. up_the_irons: Odd question... When you setup new VPS (well, ipv4 blocks really), is there a DNS entry pointing to that new (usable) IP? Just somethign r*nerd was going on about the other day. brycec: yes, something like .cust.arpnetworks.com is created Ah, interesting. I had no idea. (And no idea what mine is, since it's not firstnamelastname, aka my console login) (New goal: Sign up as "console" :D) site:cust.arpnetworks.com yields 6 results wow, three customers hosting blogs etc straight off the "default" lol up_the_irons: So I'm guessing that DNS thing is new in the last 14 months or so? I checked my original welcome email and there's no mention of it. (Not that I'm looking for one, I'm just curious.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LjQ6a773EM YouTube Tech: "Creepy Dial up sound (700% slower)" by Andrea Altomare (2m 25s), 375 views, 9 likes and 0 dislikes.
