>Description:
ftp to ftp.perl.org gets back the message "No address associated with hostname". There is no problem connecting to at least one other private ftp site on the Internet. There is no problem with nslookup to ftp.perl.org. ftp to ftp.perl.org works for linux and windows ftp installed on the affected machine at the same IP address. If my machine needs to have a reverse lookup, that will not be possible, due to the VPN.
>How-To-Repeat:
Put yourself behind a NAT firewall and/or a SmartGate VPN server with IP address 10.12.55.4 and try to ftp to ftp.perl.org.
