I can't really recall the details of the original problem, except I think the ASN.1 got screwed up somehow so we were sending rubbish (legal BER, but the wrong ASN.1) to the server. I can't remember when it was broken or what version fixed it :-( I can't think of any particularly good reason why it has suddenly broken on you, if nothing's been changed. You haven't changed bind version or anything? Cheers, Chris
