General Notes / Tuning Information

Network hardware:

   Foundry Network ServerIronXL (2x 1000Base-SX ports and 24 x 10/100 BaseT ports)

DNS configuration:

  "A" records for every host on the network (to map hostnames to IP
  addresses).

  "PTR" records for every host on the network (to reverse map IP
  addresses to hostnames).

  Specify operf4.p.net as the only mail exchange for domain remote.p.net
  with an MX record of preference level 10.
