     I want to make sure that the nameserver is answering remote
servers on this hostname and IP.  Sendmail is not recieving messages
to this machine for any other name than the secondary domain name
(e.g., domain.com but not machine.domain.com), even though sendmail.cw
has been properly configured here.  ...think it might have to do with
how my ISP put the MX record in, possibly, and that the NS or sendmail
on this machine is not resolving any domain. 

     Hopefully, the experience of setting up DSL for an Internet server
on a single IP will be successful enough so that I may write documentation
for it, soon.  Thanks for the info about ICMP earlier.
