That's not expected. Chasing (dereferencing) CNAMEs is one of the understood burdens of any DNS app; you can't treat the CNAME itself as a positive response. Luckily standard apps don't rely on DNS-to-boolean conversion like this or else the 'Net wouldn't work. I'm glad you see I wasn't blowing smoke here. -- S. P.S. chekdnsrr() does the same thing for CNAMEs w/other RRtypes as well, by the way. It'll confirm that www.php.net has an SRV record. I mean, geez... -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
