[MLB-WIRELESS] Melbwirelses DNS and Domain Names

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

That's for the smart people to work out :)
I just come up with the crazy ideas.

If I want the crazy domain names I'm going to have to give people a way to
get to them that they'll like.
So, as a consequence, I'll probably offer my DNS to resolve wireless
network addresses and Internet addresses for people who want to make use of
them.
 Which as I mentioned in an earlier email I think it's actually doing at
the moment, will confirm it tonight with a couple of tests however.
If they don't want my stinkin DNS, i'll offer them a big hosts file. :)
