That's the point. The server gets a connect from the client IP, and tries to do a reverse dns lookup on the IP. The IP does not resolve to any name because, as you say, the machine does not have a valid domain name. As each dns server in the heirarchy fails, the request will bubble up until all have failed, and that's when the ftp continues. -- Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail. _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
