Am I missing something in > trying to find out who 211.119.248.38 is? Not all IPs are set up for reverse resolution or inverse address mapping. On your BSD box you should be able to use "dig -x 211.119.248.38" or "nslookup 211.119.248.38". You'll see it isn't set up. But the dig report will also tell you a little bit about who may be responsible for that IP. You can also use whois and point it to an ARIN host to find out more about that particular IP. Then whois will tell you to also try an APNIC host. For example: whois -h whois.arin.net 211.119.248.38 whois -h whois.apnic.net 211.119.248.38 Yes. This is entirely off topic. You should consider using a different mailing list to further this discussion. Good luck, Jeremy C.
