Let me guess - you're makeing the test in a network that doesn't have reverse name resolution configured for it's IPs, right? :-) > see any problem with ping by IP even when I break resolver configuration. > [I speak about ping from iputils-20020927-11] It very much depends on the exact nature of the "breakage". Try this: put a an IP for the name server in /etc/resolv.conf which is a "black hole" - swallws all the packet you send to it, like in the case of a mis configured firewall and try to ping somwhere and you'll see what I mean. > Sorry for little OT, I don't think it's off topic :-) Gilad -- Gilad Ben-Yossef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Codefidence.
