Well, I can't test this at the moment. My DOS machine that was on the LAN
at the University just got rebuilt, and no longer has a network card in
it...
But, take a look at the WATTCP.CFG that your Arachne is using. My guess is
that you will find only one nameserver specified in it. Current versions
of Arachne use a modified WATTCP library, and I don't have any
documentation for this, but I do have some documentation for the original
WATTCP utilities, and there it says that one can specify up to nine
nameservers in WATTCP.CFG.
