Indeed very odd. Another thing to try is -d+resolver, which is not in the default for -d on its own. IIRC, the output from +resolver goes to stdout instead of stderr (it comes from within the resolver). This does have a vague smell of "checking one name server but the live system is using another", but that's just a guess. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cambridge, England.
