I see: http://www.openconcept.ca/whois.php?q=projectgutenberg.ca
http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=projectgutenberg.ca
Seems it can't connect to the mail servers, and I tried and I can't
connect to the webserver.
If he is already using @projectgutenberg.ca , then before any DNS is
switched over I would need to have the email forwarding table. What we do
is have a text file on the website which our email system automatically
loads which has the mapping of username at domain to where it is then sent
to.

We need to coordinate this if any services are already active to make
sure that this is an "addition" and nothing already working gets lost in
the shuffle.
Would James be considered the technical lead for the project?

I figured this would come in handy. I became an ISP for this type of
reason, because I was continuously hosting projects where I wanted to
ensure that the policies of any single upstream wouldn't cause problems
for me. We are multi-homed with 3 Ottawa ISPs, one of them being a peer
we have at OttIX.net
