	I cannot be sure just yet; that's the main thing.  I'm afraid
	that if I power down my server and reboot the new one that it
	won't work.  Then I could be disconnected from the
	"real-world" (koff-koff) for days or weeks.  I finished the 
	namedb/master/* files late last night.  

	Any DNS wizards on-list?  ---I think that's the place to
	start:
	show the present settings and the ones I just modified ... 
	see if my mods look like they may work.

	If you [[Or *Anybody*]] has any better starting place, I'm 
	open to any ideas... .

	gary


	PS:  I'll be up-front and add this before I send: I would
	rather avoid damaging my knees by getting up/down and messing 
	around on the floor!
