Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I did see that page before, but
I guess my bigger question is why if the DNS is broken/slow, why
does the entire server come to a COMPLETE halt, no commands can
be done via either TCP *OR* the socket. If it just errored, that
session took forever, whatever... I could understand. The problem
is that when it gets probed, it COMPLETELY offlines (DOS) the server.
And just *1* connection!
Just also seems difficult to keep proper documentation if
we are using IPs and not complete hostnames.
Thanks, Tuc
