GEOM_STRIPE Problems on Reboot

[Drew Tomlinson]

I apologize if anyone sent replies and they were rejected.  It appears I 
had a hostname problem on my box and thus, postfix was rejecting all 
mail to me.  All is working again.  Please resend any reply you may have 
made.  I'd *REALLY* like to get this resolved before I go on vacation 
next week.  :)

Thanks,

Drew
