I've actually noticed this happening a lot recently and it took me a while to figure out what was going on. After several middle-of-the-night alerts that my dns was down I discovered that while it couldn't resolve www.woodstone.nu it would quite happily resolve everything else I tried. So I decided to change my dns check entries to simple port connection tests and get some sleep. Is it possible to change the dns test to allow for a user specified query? thanks lisa To unsubscribe send a message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line to [email protected] If you use auto-responders (like out-of-the-office messages), make sure that they are not sent to the list nor to individual members.
