Well, I'll have to say I have had problems with nslookup in the past where it returned different results within a few seconds of each time it ran - but dig "appeared" to be more stable in it's response. I never looked into it and assumed it was some sort of network strangeness - but maybe it was just nslookup? So - now I know why! :-) -Cheers -Andrew -- MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding! _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
