I get: java.sun.com -> 192.18.97.71 -> flres.java.Sun.COM
both at home (NTLWorld) and at Work (Uni Glasgow).

What's not working?

BTW, the IP changing on each call happens if there is more than one IP
address registered with a particular name. The DNS server returns a random
one -- a load-balancing trick.

Cheers,

Paul.
