I _think_ I know what this is. I assume that the DNS error
you report is one of the "friendly" messages (and generally
useless) Explorer gives you.
If you use IE 5.0x to grab a https URL with something like
https://1.2.3.4/foo/bar.html
you will get an error. Netscape gives you a warning that
the certificate you are about to receive isn't from the
host that signed it.
Here's how I got round the problem (under NT): go to
c:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\etc and hack the hosts file there. Put in
the file a dummy entry that matches the hostname in the
certificate (???.snakeoil.com if I remember correctly) to
the IP address in your URL.
For me, this fooled IE into thinking the dummy hostname
resolved to your 192.168.100.XXX IP address.
I think I've got that right!
Adam.
