I did in fact look at the manpage and did not find that option. I just looked again and I still can't find it.

Just let me know. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Giorgos Keramidas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "adp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, May 30, 2004 10:12 PM Subject: Re: Can I specify the resolver timeout? > On 2004-05-30 12:04, adp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there a way to override this timeout value?
