Does this *truly* address what you want it to do? Or is it merely a "close enough to be mostly right" solution? Note that there *are* .edu's outside the US (I think there's 5 or 10 in Canada), and also note that it ends up treating universities outside the US as second class citizens... Also, I can hardly consider "subscribe any *.edu address" as "tightly controlled". Remember that there's a number of .edu sites that will give out a userid to *anybody* (the most famous probably being the MIT AI Lab systems, but I think they finally got out of THAT business). It might be easier to come up with a Truly Good Solution if you explained more about exactly what the *problem* was that you were trying to solve by restricting subscriptions? -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Engineer Virginia Tech
