So we’re still trying to prune the clutter here at gulker.com World HQ, now that the Paperless Project is in place. We were struggling with the decision to retire the G4 Cube, but now that it’s the big-format scanning workstation I guess we’ll keep it around. So I  think the Mac OS X Server will either go to the garage rack, or we might consider selling it.

So the two Mac minis will take over LAN DNS from the G5 server and Cube (since the Cube will often be booted into Mac OS 9), which means more fun hacking BIND. I don’t think my DNS servers are forwarding properly, so we’ll be spending some time with titles like DNS and BIND. We could also put the Linux box to work as a DNS machine -  hacking BIND is no more or less dificult on Linux than Mac OS X. It’s about hacking prefs files with tricky strings full of semicolons, angle brackets, curly braces and other marginally human-friendly notation…
