Actually, looking for google.com isn't a problem here, if I understand correctly. Look at the code in nameserver_probe_callback: it accepts either DNS_ERR_NONE _or_ DNS_ERR_NOTEXIST as an answer meaning that the nameserver is running. In other words, a nameserver that says "there is no google" is considered just as "up" as a nameserver that reports what we'd currently expect to see. Does that seem like a sensible argument, or am I missing something? yrs, -- Nick _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
