Oh, that'll be the day! LOL! I'm having problems even getting a server running
properly... :-\

Thanks for the info, I want it to be mainly private.

Funny thing, I just saw this in the server log:

Resolving authorize.quake3arena.com
authorize.quake3arena.com resolved to 192.246.40.56:27952

Wha?

Anyhow, anyone tried to connect yet?

right now it's 64.231.65.112, but I've set up a cron job to update the DNS
every hour, so freeyourmachine.org should get you there :-)
