Nope, lugnet.com is not an NNTP server. lugnet.com is a second-level domain
name. The machine which identifies itself as lugnet.com is a FreeBSD box
which is _running_ an NNTP server. (Servers are software, not hardware.)
The same physical machine is also running an HTTP server (actually multiple
instances), an FTP server, etc.

| (...) I understand what you mean, but if someone asks me what's the NNTP server for LUGNET, I'll still answer "lugnet.com". It's not news.lugnet.com, or nntp.lugnet.com, just "lugnet.com". Steve (24 years ago, 5-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
