Well, since you're in Germany, I figured you should see what the BMW
logo is based on and how it works.  Thhhhpt!

Oh, so you're a kerosene pusher.  One power control.  Wimp!  I've got
THREE!  Add in manual flaps and retractable gear and landings are busy
times.

We can do that.  We have something called "VitalDNS", which is a widely
deployed, heavily redundant DNS with servers in Los Angeles, CA, Irvine,
CA and Ashburn, VA (outside of Washington D.C.).  I'm not 100% certain
we offer this as a stand-alone service, but you can email our sales gang
at sales at vitalstream.com and they'll see what they can do.  I've already
alerted them to expect your message.  No obligation.
