RE: PASE runtime going away!!!!

[ChadB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I'd like to hear more discussion on what it means to someone using it for
DNS... we're setup with DNS on iSeries and really like the setup (for many
reasons).  We've got it configured and think of it as "OS/400 DNS" and
won't be interested in bringing AIX into the organization for this purpuse.
I'm thinking that there will be some way to handle DNS on the iSeries
without having to go full blown AIX... that would be a major disservice to
many AS400 shops.

hopefully they'll get the pricing issues figured out by then.  Frankly,
I'm running AIX on a pseries right now and it's a REALLY CHEAP solution
compared to running AIX on iSeries hardware.  Make sure you price out the
differences before you buy...
