I tried switching the order of the nameservers, no luck. Tried adding a new nameserver (public nameserver), lo luck. Still getting: --------- debug: RBL: success for 0 of 12 queries debug: DNS: timeout for rfci_envfrom after 20 seconds debug: DNS: timeout for NO_DNS_FOR_FROM after 20 seconds --------- Does Net::DNS even look in resolv.conf? There seems to be some links to a file called ".resolv.conf". I wonder if Net::DNS isn't even looking there?
