The b.root-servers.net IP address I have is 192.228.79.201 so I think everything is fine there. Unlike others I have this problem regularly. Every time I make my server do a DNS lookup it puts a lot of lines into /var/log/messages, but luckily for me I have not filled /var up. This has been happening for many days now and I have not been able to find any real answers using google. -- Scott Harrison PGP Key ID: 0x0f0b5b86
