FYI: I uninstalled Apache 2.2.3 and installed Apache 1.3.x and now everything works flawlessly. I made zero other changes on the system between working and not working, so there either is a bug or something "wierd".
I was running dnstop and when asking the server to do "hostnamelookups on" or DNS lookups inside the php module is was generating 0 DNS requests to anywhere. Now, with 1.3 installed dnstop is showing plenty of traffic. On Thursday 09 November 2006 19:09, Henrik Hudson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent a missive stating: > Hey List- > > I'm stumped on a problem.
