Using a name-server that takes too long to reply to you? Just guessing... Using the "-n" option will inhibit automatic DNS lookups, and only print IP addresses. But I doubt if this is what you want. Trying to make your DNS server respond faster seems like a better thing. -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
