Is there a quick fix to this? (I have a cron job that runs and resets it, but that seems like a bit of an akward workaround), or is it due to some subtle misconfiguration on my part? The only thing I can think of is that some other host is sending routing information that's not correct, but... er, I don't _think_ that's the case. :) Anyway, any information/guesses/etc would be much appreciated. -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.
