[DAS] dsn

Seconded!  This would be very very helpful, and is a great idea.  A
suggestion is that people behind firewalls will not be able to post
their url's but they can capture their own output to a file and upload
that file to be checked.  A website that could handle both would be
ideal.

Thanks,

Jim
