 ok, thanks.
 up until now i have been using musical compositions such
 as "aria", "ronodo", "requiem", "cannon", "fugue", and so on.
 but, i was afraid that this would be publically viewable so,
 thought i would post. are database server names viewable
 to the public? I am guessing no. So, if that is true, can you
 tell me what server names "are" viewable to the public when
 creating a medium-sized web site.
 
 for example, in the example provided above:
 by138w.bay138.mail.live.com
 
 what kinds of servers would the following be:
 by138w.bay138
 
 sorry, i am just trying to get my mind wrapped around
 namespaces.
 
 thanks again!
