I also checked this by doing the following:
What do /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf on your machine look like? What do you mean by "there is no problem looking up 192.168.253.140 on the machine where AOLserver is running"? What did you do to "verify" it? Do you have an entry in /etc/hosts for 192.168.253.140? Does your nameserver have a 253.168.192.in-addr.arpa zone defined with a IN PTR for 140.253.168.192.in-addr.arpa? What bothers me most is that you say AOLserver 3.4.2 works fine -- is this AOLserver 3.4.2 running on this exact same FreeBSD 5.2.1 machine, or on some other machine that's still running AOLserver 3.4.2? -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
