[olug] Has @home shut down mail/http ?

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

They never promised us the ability to run servers.

For those of us that have been running servers we've most likely been
violating their Terms of Service which we agreed to when we got their
internet access service.

What I have is a cipe VPN between one of the computers I have "co-located"
at Creighton University and my home network.

I have the MX record for giedi.obix.com pointed to tux.creighton.edu;
tux.creighton.edu runs Exim, which is smart enough to relay an abritrary
domain to an arbitrary IP number.

All my DNS needs are served by the DNS servers I control at work and are
separate (for the time being) from any machines I personally own.
