A caching DNS server on each machine would have reduced the problem and probably been much harder to see than the catastrophic failure I had. If something is going to fail, I like them to fail in the most spectacular way possible, so it is clearly failed. Intermittent failures annoy me. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.roaringpenguin.com MIMEDefang mailing list MIMEDefang@lists.roaringpenguin.com http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
