Of geneal intrest.

two of the internal webservers of my company has the host name rocco and jenna.

I asked for names of known pornstars way back and my boss thought it was cool to name the serers after rocco and jenna.

Well a big mail distrubution went out and instead of the url it read http//jenna/ and so on.

It works fineon the intranet where I have set up name resolution but on the internet...


The name resolves to Jenna Jameson at http://www.clubjenna.com/

Well a big mess insures and as fortune provides I am not at the office but at a cource on how to inplement CISCO PIX well, this is the first time I had over 300+ phone calls on my cell that I did not ansver.

My decision, stay out of the mess go to the pub drink some beers and type in this stuff.

I cannot wait untill the blamegame on Monday :lol:
