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. drjung -- J.
