Re: [FreeDNS] urbanshield.za.net domain

Hi Samuel

Any idea how eu.org works? I understand that the reason that za.net / 
za.org updates take so long is that the existing pool of volunteers 
don't want to trust anyone new with the job (kind of understandable,  I 
guess, though hardly sustainable in the long term) and presumably they 
do a fair amount of manual labour. In these circumstances automation is 
vital.
