Thanks for the info Todd. I was under the apparently wrong impression
that the client resolver would use the first available server in the
AUTHORITY SECTION, i.e. the first one that is not busy at the time of
the inquiry. I did not understand it to be a purely random process.
Thanks for disabusing me of a long standing misconception. Keep up the
good work. It is nice to see postings from the Mandrake people. I dare
say that civileme has been as busy as a one-legged man in a
"ass-kicking" contest.
