Duh! Mark is out of the office so am a bit stuck ;-(
Is there any way I can get startx.co.uk recognised by some other
nameserver(s)?
I don't understand the DNS system at all other than a need to put some
nameservers into /etc/resolv.conf (or equivalent) and didn't realise
until this problem came up that startx.co.uk needed the *.myth.co.uk
servers
It cannot all be wrong at Mark's end as I can access his 'Joker's
Masquerade' site easily enough
