That's a broken DNS setup. They should be utter ashamed of themselves. NXDOMAIN means no such domain, not "let me show some ads to you". I recommend running dnsmasq locally (or similar) that will map their search IP address to NXDOMAIN. That or use 8.8.8.8. If you need help with dnsmasq, I can send you a quick conf file and show you the precise line to edit. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
