(Expires column snipped) dnsmasq: Host Address Flags dnsmasq: stinkpad.alrac.net 192.168.1.102 4FRI H dnsmasq: localhost 127.0.0.1 4F I H dnsmasq: i.cnn.net 64.236.16.137 4F dnsmasq: m1.2mdn.net.edgesuite.net a509.cd.akamai.net CF thanks! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carla Schroder Linux geek and random computer tamer check out my Linux Cookbook! http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxckbk/ best book for sysadmins and power users ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
