Thanks much Doug.

We only have one ip address so I'll just set it up the same I have it 
now, with web and mx pointing to same ip address at nomealaska.org. Then 
when ready to move off the website, I can worry about renaming our email 
server and have the DNS point at it for mail, and the other for web 
wherever it ends up.

thanks, Jim
