But it is a bug.. :) It can resolve the host fine. It's consistently doing this for a number of hosts, like about 1 in 20, however it scans anything else fine. Here we go: jbaker@snowstorm:~ > nslookup www.jackie-oliver.co.uk Server: whiskey.teamenergy.com Address: 10.0.0.7 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.jackie-oliver.co.uk Address: 195.82.99.130 This is on a nice fat DSL line, so it's not like it cannot resolve it 'sometimes'. Would you like to direct me to something that can help us get further with this bug? John -- John Baker, BSc CS.
