[ale] Bind newbie question

[John Wells]

James,

Thanks!  You're right on.  I called godaddy and had just gotten off the
phone with that info when your email came through.

By the way, the $20 advanced dns service is now free, and their customer
service guy was *sharp*.  I'm very impressed with them!

Thanks for the help everyone.

John
