Any help would be greatly appreciated. wtime.net has an inconsistent DNS configuration, and you should *expect* something to fail. From the .net name servers: wtime.net. 2D IN NS NS.JCITY.NET. wtime.net. 2D IN NS NS.wtime.net. NS.JCITY.NET. 2D IN A 210.217.192.1 NS.wtime.net. 2D IN A 211.116.92.5 Asking 210.217.192.1, we find only *one* name server: wtime.net. 1H IN NS ns.wtime.net. ns.wtime.net. 1H IN CNAME tdc_srv1.wtime.net. tdc_srv1.wtime.net. 1H IN A 211.116.92.5 and it is an alias - which is illegal. The name server at 211.116.92.5 responds the same way. Fix the DNS configuration - and if FreeBSD *still* fails we can investigate.
