Fortunately DNS doesn't actually work like that... DNS servers don't go out and fetch the lists of millions of domains from the root servers when they start up. If you say there was a problem then I don't doubt that, but I think you may have misunderstood the reason. Anyway, as has been said, if you're having so much trouble with DNS then it's an issue with your setup. If you add a few extra DNS servers to your list of resolvers on your client machine you should never have any trouble resolving names. If this were not the case the Internet would be a crappy place indeed! Redundancy is a beautiful thing. :) -Simon _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
