sa-update always uses the SA version for queries, not the plain mirror, and the update version number is encoded in the TXT record. The plain one doesn't work. $ host -t TXT sought.rules.yerp.org sought.rules.yerp.org has no TXT record With your reversed SA version number, it does. $ host -t TXT 5.2.3.sought.rules.yerp.org 5.2.3.sought.rules.yerp.org descriptive text "320767873" BTW, the problems experienced and discussed earlier seem to be limited to the http mirror server only. DNS wasn't the problem. guenther -- beware of my above wording, I've had absolutely no caffeine yet -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu...@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
