Interesting thing. I don't want to put words in Gilles's mouth, but I believe that was exactly his point. As mentioned in the previous mailing list threads, previous versions of htdig would continue to try URLs on a server even if it was previously unreachable. There was considerable input to change this to the current default behavior--if a server becomes unreachable, then htdig will not bother to try additional URLs. The ignore_dead_servers attribute switches back to the previous behavior. (Though unreachable URLs will not be retried themselves.) -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: AMD - Your access to the experts on Hammer Technology!
