MerriLUG: Meeting Topic Deathmatch!

Okay, a bit of melodrama.  But hey...

Anyway, the upcoming meeting on the 21st currently has two topics vying
for contention (unless, of course, someone volunteers):

- A discussion by yours truly about OpenVPN.
 or
- A discussion by none other than Ben Scott about DNS

Ben's discussion, itself, is already in the wiki at
wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/PresentDNS -- the reason being that he
already gave a talk on it back in early '04.  I'm interested in having him
chat again because DNS is one of those core things that people need to be
aware of... and, personally, I need a refresher, and Ben's a knowledgeable
kind of guy, and I'm sure would be willing to ask any dumb questions I^H^H
anyone might have.

OpenVPN, on the other hand, is really nifty (see me singing its praises at
www.mail-archive.com/gnhlug-discuss at mail.gnhlug.org/msg10843.html).  And
if folks are looking for an open-source, relatively-easy-to-use VPN
solution, OpenVPN is a (very) strong contender.

So: write me back.  Whichever gets the most votes gets to be the topic. 
I'll send out the final meeting announcement on Friday.

-Ken
