Shantanoo Forgive me, but does the country block access to the root Internet servers? If so, wouldn't it only cache information that is available...i.e., if his DNS server can't get the IP's for those sites because his upstream has it blocked, he could only get the crippled available IPs from those within the country? I knew they blocked things in the country using proxies, but I didn't (and don't) know the full range of the blocking that's done...my first thoughts were that he was inviting trouble by discussing trying to get to these sites on a public mailing list, wondering if they were watching and noting his attempt to subvert their blocking. Maybe someday they'll come to their senses and drop the Internet censorship :-) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
