A thread at WebmasterWorld explains, 'To make a long story short, having a DNS server that allows recursion for the Internet is like running an open SMTP relay.'"

A thread on osx86project.org has confirmations from several testers that the procedure works on the 17" iMac, the Mac mini, and the MacBook Pro. Many sets of pictures and videos (such as this installation video) are floating around (and mentioned in the thread). The solution itself should be posted soon." Poit! Congratulations to narf.
For a person who has a problem with others who say vb is not a real programming language, Im surprised to see you list XML as your latest programming language.
It may be extendable, but its still a general purpose markup language.
Hey look at me Im programming in html!
