Non-authoritative answer: www-01.ibm.com canonical name = www-01-ext.ibm.net. www-01-ext.ibm.net canonical name = outer-ccdn-dual.ibmcom.edgekey.net. outer-ccdn-dual.ibmcom.edgekey.net canonical name = outer-ccdn-dual.ibmcom.edgekey.net.globalredir.akadns.net. outer-ccdn-dual.ibmcom.edgekey.net.globalredir.akadns.net canonical name = e2874.dscx.akamaiedge.net. Name: e2874.dscx.akamaiedge.net Address: 23.2.47.145 ... in such cases, I've sometimes found that supplying a "Hostname: ..." header helps. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
