  Ok, this is useful to know in any case. Andy added code that tries to 
detect and avoid crashing for odd DNS configurations (plus he added some 
printout to help debugging). When you say that it doesn't work, what do you 
mean? Does it crash? Does it just exit and refuse to run? Could you send the 
traceback and/or logfile so Andy could take a look at it?

                                 thanks, 
                                   Pete
