You're assuming non-profit organizations don't have professional system
administrators. Unless I misunderstood you, you should be aware that
there are non-profit organizations with system groups more serious and
professional than those of some of the ISPs/IPPs. (Ariel mekahkeh bigrono).

I can't promise anything, but I can promise to ask. There's a posibility
of cs.huji hosting the DNS (no promise! I'll ask on Sunday if you want).
And I don't mind at all - in fact, it may be preferable - if DNS is at
Ira's. I was suggesting another primary or secondary service, alongside
Ira's.

Controller isn't needed if the machine is already there. The ftp site can
do with a 2 GB disk (or maybe even smaller) if we filter out the stuff
that's less important for us to have. A sponsor that would devote $800
worth of disk space is what we've been looking for.
Jonathan? (Forget about my last 10 GB post, there IS a lot of stuff we
don't need in Israel on SunSite.)
