No, you are wrong. gethostbyname($hostname) correctly resolves my servers, and I have disabled pings for security reasons. gethostbyname($hostname) has nothing to do with pings as a matter of fact. It performs a whois lookup and returns the ip address of $hostname. -Dan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
