Why it's taking your connection out, I don't know but I've found that
the Netscape versions >= 1.1 I've run on both SunOS and FreeBSD require
me using the IP address instead of the hostname if I want to use remote
hosts.  The Slowlaris versions doesn't for some reason, but I found it
interesting none the less.
