Strange. Nobody has reported anything like this before, and then two this week. Thanks, Ken and David for your reports. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it, and I can't see anything obviously wrong with the code, so it may be partly OS dependent, although Ken is on Linux and David on Solaris. David, Ken discovered that analog would give up immediately after encountering a broken DNS server. Can you confirm whether you are seeing the same thing? Turn on debugging (+V) and/or look at your dnscache file. What happens if you try and look up the first failed lookup manually? (I guess I really mean the lookup after the last successful lookup -- there could be earlier failures). -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim."
