FileMaker Pro Server moved

Moved the FileMaker Pro server to a faster machine on the TAPACOM network. Also changed the server configuration so that FMP would be servable under port 80 instead of port 591. Also setup FTP access to the database files.

Recent episodes of the DNS server going offline were due to intermittent equipment failures. Made the appropriate equipment replacement. Also arranged for additional remote DNS services to provide better fail-safe coverage.
