Heh...true, but its better then having to remember ip numbers.
(Well usually). The problem is usually the people running DNS
barely understand it, and then your have some poor souls
running DNS on NT, and the problem goes down hill from there.
I had to deal with AT&T not too long ago to update our DNS
records, it scares me when I have to tell them where to look and
what to change.
