Hello Michael,

Not only do I manage all three MHSC zone files (MHSC.COM, MHSC.NET, and
MHSC-SYSTEMS.COM), I also manage the DNSO.NET zone and my own IN-ADDR.ARPA
zone. It doesn't stop there, I also run the ORSC root.zone. That's public
access. In addition I have three private zones for our internal VPN usage,
that are only accessible from within MHSC.NET, via private name servers.
Anyone with knowledge, a Unix system, and a full-time Internet connection
can do the same. One does not have to be an ISP. Pacific Bell, MCI, and
Wells Fargo Bank also control their own zone files.
