New 'twould be best to have it on a different network ...
After the difficulties that some of us had with DNS/hosts/etc. recently, it would probably make sense for the mailing list to be on a separate network. Right?

Cheers,
Scott.

New 1 ISP = "single point of failure"
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New Not necessarily
After having a spate of DNS problems with my ISP, they Tech gave me two DNS server addresses to use: One was theirs, and another was a "secret" address of a DNS they use when theirs go down. (Neither were able to resolve "z.iwethery.org" for about a week after the move). So simply having a single ISP does not necessarily imply a single point of (DNS) failure, unless its hosts all yourr accessible DNSs.
