The version I have installed is: ||/ Name Version Description +++-============-=============-============================================ ii host 20000331-9 utility for querying DNS servers If it matters I run a local name-server and do have a 6-to-4 tunnel. -- Steve Kostecke <[email protected]> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
