Thank you for your explanation. I think you mean retrying to same host. In general, host doesn't have mutliple A RR or AAAA RR point to same address. I believe we don't need delay in this case. I have no idea what the author of rsh intended is. However, such configuration is still possible. -- Hajimu UMEMOTO @ Internet Mutual Aid Society Yokohama, Japan ume@mahoroba.org ume@bisd.hitachi.co.jp ume@FreeBSD.org http://www.imasy.org/~ume/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
