   not strange, really... fidonet.org doesn't have an IP but subdomains of   
   fidonet.org do ;)

   not sure what that's all about... perhaps www.fidonet.org doesn't have a mail   
   handler and it is all handled by fidonet.org's mail handler(s)?

   no, that's actually normal in some cases... it just means that one has to   
   connect to a subdomain of fidonet.org for any traffic... in the past, i've set   
   up corporate entities in the same manner because that's what they wanted ;)

   If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until   
   you hire an amateur.
