Well, it was guess - but Fritz (or whoever might have done the code) was
smart enough to anticipate these issues - so a timeout actually should
not cause a negative condition on the function.  So, I'm that way I'm
glad, but then again you still have an outstanding issue.

OH - this is hosted at another facility?  You really need to perform
your tests in the environment that ASSP is running in.  You need to
verify against their DNS server.

On Win32 the only DNS problems I have ever encountered have been the
result of Net:DNS 0.59.  Other than confirming your issues from within
the co-lo environment, I don't have any other ideas at this time.
