Hi Stephen/ When I start analog it runs for about 10 minutes and is able to do lookups - there are some failures but this doesn't affect analog.
Example: D: Looking up 218.242.174.166: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 200.147.24.229: D: resolved to 200-147-24-229.tlf.dialuol.com.br D: Looking up 218.242.57.33: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 210.86.87.45: D: resolved to 210-86-87-45.jetstream.xtra.co.nz D: Looking up 212.69.210.30: D: resolved to surecomm.ds.dsvr.net However further down the line analog just can't lookup anything: D: Looking up 210.187.246.209: D: resolved to ko-246-209.tm.net.my D: Looking up 193.220.82.171: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 210.187.30.194: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 200.13.218.83: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 210.54.108.115: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 202.154.65.186: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 164.100.147.70: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 212.235.71.133: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 162.84.161.6: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 219.235.49.100: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 203.168.166.46: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 217.219.168.99: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 210.177.163.99: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 134.178.160.101: D: can't resolve D: Looking up 138.227.189.8: D: can't resolve DNSCACHE file looks like this 17693864 210.187.246.209 ko-246-209.tm.net.my 17693864 193.220.82.171 * 17693864 210.187.30.194 * 17693864 200.13.218.83 * 17693864 210.54.108.115 * 17693864 202.154.65.186 * 17693864 164.100.147.70 * 17693864 212.235.71.133 * 17693864 162.84.161.6 * 17693864 219.235.49.100 * 17693864 203.168.166.46 * 17693864 217.219.168.99 * 17693864 210.177.163.99 * 17693864 134.178.160.101 * The machine can still lookup some of the failed addreses: bash-2.05a$ nslookup 203.168.166.46 Server: sov-nscache-1.granadainteractive.net Address: 193.111.180.230 Name: cm203-168-166-46.hkcable.com.hk Address: 203.168.166.46 bash-2.05a$ nslookup 134.178.160.101 Server: sov-nscache-1.granadainteractive.net Address: 193.111.180.230 Name: dhcp7.wa.BoM.GOV.AU Address: 134.178.160.101 The only other oddity about our setup is that we installed from a binary from http://jrankin.ath.cx/analog/ I will build the source over the weekend or Monday to see if I can replicate.

Nobody has reported anything like this before, and then two this week. Thanks, Ken and David for your reports. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it, and I can't see anything obviously wrong with the code, so it may be partly OS dependent, although Ken is on Linux and David on Solaris. David, Ken discovered that analog would give up immediately after encountering a broken DNS server. Can you confirm whether you are seeing the same thing? Turn on debugging (+V) and/or look at your dnscache file. What happens if you try and look up the first failed lookup manually? (I guess I really mean the lookup after the last successful lookup -- there could be earlier failures). -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim."
