I use 'host' or 'dig' if something else doesn't work (e.g. an ssh to somewhere).
I'm not sure why you get the symptoms you're seeing though Albert, I don't think I've ever noticed anything like that. If I try 'ssh something' and it doesn't work then 'host something' doesn't work either! :-) -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
