One thing you can do is ditch the whole "threaded" DNS lookup. Instead just fork the mud when it boots up using socketpair or a pipe to communicate between the two. Then you can have one processes handle nameserver requests without having to worry about threading. This will ensure that you still get a core file when something crashes, and you can still debug. ~Kender ===== -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version 3.1 GCS/L/C/O d-(+) s++:+ a-- C+++$>++++ UBLS++++$ P+++(--)$ L++>+++ E--- W+>++$ N !o K? w(--) !O M- !V PS+ PE(++) Y+ PGP->+ t- 5 X+() R(+) tv+@ b++(+++) !DI+++ D G(-) e>+++$ h---() r+++ y+++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
