If I remember it correctly, Justin's code keeps its own counter and sets the packet ID after creating the packet, making it independent of Net:DNS's counter. I guess that would break down if there are any uses of Net::DNS by the same process that do not go through his code. If that is what is happening and it results in ID collision, the fix would be to use code like yours to reload the module and rely on its own counter. I'll try that now that I can reproduce the problem myself (painful as it is). -- sidney
