The Server has 3GB of memory; Running DNS on the server

Installed two 1 GB DIMMS and booted back up; seems to work fine.

Also noted that our server CAN accept 2GB DIMMS, so we should order at least a pair of those.  So we'll have 512 MB x 2, 1 GB x 2, then 2 GB x 2, for 7 GB total.

Also managed to use Remote Desktop to set all lab machines to use ONLY northshoreview for DNS.  (Various machines had been using combinations of 10.3.30.110, 10.17.30.110, and northshoreview (10.25.40.12)).  Now if the Northshoreview DNS stops working, so will the lab machines, but at least we will know what's going on instead of just getting mysterious lag.  Remote Desktop is pretty cool.  Now if only these machines had LOM (Lights Out Management) instead of needing a kid to run around the room pressing spacebars and/or power buttons.
