(or 'now' if the problem is persisting) Sure, Chris. But since Perry's problem is *inability to resolve names in google's public zones*, the *path to the ZONE servers* is the thing diagnostics would require a trace to, no? If 8.8.8.8 doesn't *answer* for "google.com" (and no one's told me it has), then how you get there is irrelevant. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
