That, I have trouble seeing as anything but catastrophically busted. "http://north-america"; is a perfectly good DNS label, and for a *server-side* DNS implementation to decide it's actually something else is...well, Just Plain Broken. Since it's even mangling the type of RR being queried for, you probably can't just provide an A record of, eg, 127.0.0.1. I suppose just putting up with the noise is less pain than scrapping Net::DNS::Nameserver in favour of a server implementation that actually works correctly? (I'm sorely tempted to ask for the interface spec, to see how hard it would be to write one, but I'm not at all sure I have the round tuits to do anything useful with it.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
