OK, we've had two offers for slave nameservers which we'll follow up,
but still no offers of a secondary MX. Fair enough slaving DNS is easy
to set up, low traffic and fairly low risk. Understandably, finding
someone prepared to setup and allow mail traffic will be a bit harder.

When I get a moment, I'll try to make the request in a few more public
places (news.gnome.org, planet.gnome.org etc) to reach a wider audience.
Can anyone think of anywhere else that might reach the right kind of
people?

If all else fails, I have a co-hosted server with a decent ISP in the UK
that could be used. However, I might have to take it down at any point,
so I'd rather see it hosted on a server with a better guarantee of
longevity, iyswim.
