Ahh.  Thanks for the info Owen.

Just an fyi for you folks - the mailing list machine is going to be 
moved soon and that will entail a short outage on the list.

It really sucks having to squash everything I was doing in to a measly 5 
IP addresses when I had my own Class C to play with. :(  Comcast won't 
route my block and won't sell me more than 5 addresses.  It leaves me 
stuck until they get around to improving their business support.  *sigh*
