Putting your only name servers on the same subnet (unless Tech Data has VERY small subnets) isn't very smart no matter what day it is. Too many things can take down your one network. Instead of queueing mail, many mail programs will generate permanent errors and immediate bounces.
What programs are that? I was under the illusion that everybody mimicked sendmails behaviour in that if you cannot get an authoritative answer, queue it whatever everything else (basically). But then again, why should they work properly? :/ -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike () swm pp se Fax/voicemail: +46 (0) 8-59825186
