It doesn't lock up... it just takes a long time (60 seconds I think) before the DNS lookup of dontpanic fails... and it resorts to bind... what would probally fix it is to swap bind and hosts to where hosts is first... also... make sure dontpanic is in hosts... the reason nslookup might fail is because routed isn't being loaded (because you ^Ced netstart)... > Lacking an RFC1597 to RTFM I appreciate comments on how to do this.
