[geeks] Win2k DNS issue - help!

[Bruce Pullig]

My favorite line for quite some time was, "I'm Sun and Microsoft certified, 
so I feel I'm qualified to say that Windows is not the best option."  If 
someone is a "UNIX" or "Windows" guy, then managers are prone to believe he 
is biased, or out to protect his domain.   Management feels I can be 
objective because I've taken the time to learn both.

My second favorite line is, "I've been an NT/2000, NetWare, and UNIX 
(Solaris, AIX, IRIX, Linux) admin and the systems that got me out of bed at 
3:00am the least were UNIX.  That's why I don't want to be a Windows 
Admin.  I like reliable systems.   I like to sleep all night long!"

I no longer deal with Windows!   I'm much happier.   Hey, perhaps that 
could be my third favorite line.
