You tell me. Prior to a socket connection being permitted, a set of rules is analyzed. A matching rule can specify what will happen to that connection. One criterion upon which a rule can match is that of a host name. Thus the need to have access to the address(es) associated with a given host name (and expeditiously, if possible). -Curtis _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
