Because it's my personal "vanity" domain hosted at the end of a DSL,
not a T1 or similar, connection. It has limited traffic, 99% of which
originates from within my intranet. There hasn't been any good reason
to expend the time and money to do a commercial grade solution. I would
have done what you suggest, but until recently the costs weren't worth
the benefits. Now that I have a dual P4 Xeon Dell 1600SC system as
my main server running Linux kernel v2.6.0, and also plan on using a
project specific domain I registered last year (sysperf.org) I intend
to junk the Linksys router. But that doesn't mean such a configuration
is never appropriate.
