No and your diagnosis was spot on. > It seems that communications between the slave (which we don't know the > IP address of) and the server at 139.78.100.1 is broken. Oh, yes! it was definitely broken. The slave is on the same subnet as the master so any firewalls had to be on one or the other and it turned out some firewall rules I had been using for probably 6 to 8 years or so do not work with tcp transfers. individual lookups worked because they are mostly udp. To be truthful, the firewall was low on the trouble-shooting list because it had worked for so long. Thanks very much.
