Oki, that didn't work...

The first release was with the vlserver running, the second with it
disabled. So it seems like I have to have it running...

I am quite sure that I've seen a mail on the list that it is possible
to increase the priority of a host without changing IP's... ?
I just can't do this because I only have four IP's, and the SPARCs are
registered NS servers (and moving all domains to new IPs and what not)
is way to much trouble... Do I really have to!?
