   Ok, wasn't thinking in those terms.  Not a big deal in any case.

   I get the same results as you except for one, where you found no dns found, my   
   system returned an ip:   
      
   host fidocl.no-ip.org   
   fidocl.no-ip.org.net has address 23.21.224.150   
      
   fwtw :)

   Looks like it...

   It would seem some strangeness in Ubuntu 12.4, perhaps.  That's what I run   
   here.

   I remember that, yes.

   Yes :)
