Do you know what its trying to look up ? Either do a tcpdump, or run a copy of bind locally, adjust your /etc/resolv.conf and issue a ndc querylog and watch /var/log/daemon to see what its looking up. >Is there a possibility to switch off the IPv6 support? Yes, take it out of your kernel config. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
