[Danyl Strype]

Andrew, are you still on this list?

I got this to a suggestion about back up DNS a few months ago and found it 
in a folder while I was responding to that list domains thread. I wonder 
if you (or Finn or anyone form CAT who've been dealing with DNS issues) 
might be able to advise them?

RnB,
