I am not sure of the circumstances relating to this name change, however australian clients are still free to connect to mpx.sydney.oz.org and people with the .edu.au, .oz.au, .id.au, .gov.au and .csiro.au domains are free to use wollongong.oz.org. This re-affirms my post a short time ago addressing the klining of .net clients on .au servers and all is explained at www.oz.org under "what server should I use" I, or someone else will address this list with the situation regarding connections to aussie.sydney.oz.org as it becomes available. As a personal view only, I believe the best thing is a local CNAME pointing to the server of your choice, in which you can pre-configure MIRC or whatever program you distribute to your users (if any) to point to your local irc.yourdomain.com.au, which as above, is just a cname to whatever irc server you want your users to use. Of course, they will roam after a while - but it's a good start, and if users ring up about why can't I connect here there or otherwise, you can just direct them to use irc.yourdomain.com.au. anyway, cheers. -- Matt Carter | Systems Administrator Email: m a t t @ s q u i r r e l . n e t | Squirrel Software Technologies pty/ltd Phone: +61 7 3271 4285 | Level 1, Confitt Building, Fax: +61 7 3271 4288 | 11 Quindus St, Wacol QLD 4076 ---- Email "unsubscribe aussie-isp" to m a j o r d o m o @ a u s s i e . n e t to be removed.
