[freeside] Not prompted again for login at freeside internal server after first time. it just lets me in.......

[Clyde Swann]

Issue appears to be resolved.  Don't quite know how I fixed it.  Issue 
does appear to have been (maybe) with my caching name server. made some 
changes there, restarted named and the network and things seem to be 
working according to Hoyle.  I do some odd things with named, which I 
won't get into here, to resolve intranet host names whether gateway/dns 
server is dialed out or not.  I must revisit that whole thought process 
again.

Thanks again for your response.

Now on to Self-Service setup.  I had given myself a couple more hours to 
figure this out or move to moderbill.  I looked at moderbill and 
freeside for over a month and decided on freeside, first because it is 
open source, then after getting into it, its external logical approach 
to processes.  Once everything is flying I will be looking for that 
donate button.  :)

Chow!
