Where are these problematical names coming from? Is QDNS getting these names from the DNS server, and writing them into the dns.txt file, and then choking on them later when it tries to read the dns.txt file back, or is it choking on them when it gets the answer back from the DNS server? (Can you give me one or 2 examples of IP addresses that cause QDNS to choke in this way?) > 2.

Maybe you don't need to get QDNS to merge the files. A DNS cache file is a fairly simple text file. You should be able to just join multiple small DNS cache files into a single file with the DOS "copy" command (COPy DNS1.txt+DNS2.txt DNS3.txt) > Or perhaps a third question: Where do I look for answers to these > questions?

QDNS was written by someone who (as far as I can recall) never contributed to this list (or never identified themselves if they did contribute), and the source was never made available. This is probably as good a place to ask your question as any, but don't expect any definitive answers. It doesn't seem likely that any of the identified bugs in QDNS will ever be fixed at this stage, because the author is the only one who has the source, and he or she doesn't seem to be interested in fixing it.
