Hi, I got this behavior from running a (reading!) client in Padova to a redirector at slac: 050621 15:59:28 001 Xrd: HandleServerError: Received redirection to [noric04:1094]. Token=[]. 050621 15:59:28 001 Xrd: GetDomainToMatch: GetHostName(noric04) returned name=127.0.0.1 It seems that the redirector does not send the complete name of the redirection destination, causing the client to fail, because it lies in a different domain where noric04 makes no sense. Also, it seems that XrdNetDNS::GetHostName returns 127.0.0.1 for an unknown host, which is wrong. Is there a workaround for this? Fabrizio
