Ahh..I see. I saw Shaw and DNS and blocked everything else out. >What you are reporting is the DNS cache.

Are you kidding me? I would consider being out of the loop for more than a couple of days to be a problem. 1-2 weeks with the same cache is insane. I'm not taking issue with you stating that's how it is, I'm just saying that's nutso. The Internet is changing constantly. >For your debian box feel free to edit /etc/resolv.conf manually with >vi/emacs/joe/some_obscure_text_editor_that_almost_no_one_uses Thanks for that. I'll do that until such time as Shaw feels like updating ther resolver.
