The site in >question already changed the name from cbca_prod to cbca-prod at my >request, and also added the extra alias, cbca_prod.

Ask them to point the cbca alias at cbca-prod and see if that clears up your problem. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
