I thought I'd work around it because with a full HTTP-request you'd not only query the DNS, you'd also query the webserver, but if someone doesn't actually delete the files from the server, you'd still get a 200-response. Now I need to work around that as well and I doubt it's possible as we don't actually control the DNS servers we use.

You're right, it's still inside backgroundrb. However, I ran pharrington's example from BRB as well. @Conrad: [j...@server06 ~]$ ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i686-linux], MBARI 0x8770, Ruby Enterprise Edition 20090928 And yes, I'm still using BRB, I really can't think of a way to avoid using BRB. I need to query a few thousand hosts every hour, every day. I really regret choosing Ruby/Rails for this particular application at this point. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
