why do you need traces from lugnet to wherever?  the jump.cgi doesn't get
the data for you, it just redirects you to your desination...  so the

I was under the (incorrect?) assumption that the lugnet server performed the
lookup for the new domain as part of the jump.cgi process.

D'oh, what the heck am I talking about.  No, you're right, Lugnet searches
aren't necessary at all, either way.  It's been a long time since I've done any
DNS stuff, just ignore me on that point.

(...) I was under the (incorrect?) assumption that the lugnet server performed the lookup for the new domain as part of the jump.cgi process. If it is, in fact, your machine doing the lookup, then no, Lugnet traces wouldn't be needed, natch. eric (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
