Umm...I don't pretend to know too much about this but if the qualified
domain in the config file it's not valid then it's not gonna work AFAIK.
You did have a real domain to be looked up now ,didn't you (dhs.og) ?
I highly doubt that if the qualified domain cannot resolve it will
work.
(Ok,if you're lucky it will after a couple hours/days ,but not always).
