In either case, the issue is what the process running on the IRIX box believes; I expect that "nslookup" is a little more likely to be available on that box than "dig" is (but I could well be wrong about that). >I have absolutely no control of the IRIX server configuration.

Assuming you want to work *with* these folks, I'd suggest that you contact them & try to cooperate. If you don't do that, and they find out that you're circumventing their operations, I expect you'll find yourself disconnected permanently. >ah. So what should I do? >thanks for the reply! Talk to the IRIX admin(s). You might find out if they like cookies (and if so, bring some for them). david -- David Wolfskill UNIX System Administrator dhw@whistle.com voice: (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 371-4621 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
