Aloha,

I have 10 FreeBSD servers and desktops in use here in Hawaii.

These are not on the list as I only have 4 servers that are up 24/7 and 
they are fire walled off with pf.

The 6 others are on a lan behind a Linux Freesco Firewall. Only 2 on 
24/7 the rest are on an as used boot up basis.

How can I get them Listed?
