Re: DNS records question

[Joel Rosenblatt <joel () COLUMBIA EDU>]

Hi,

Yes it is legal .. we allow students here to do it and we will even do it for them.  It is against our AUP for them to 
run a business on our network, but if
they want to run a club or non profit, it's fine with us.

YMMV

Regards,
Joel Rosenblatt
