       ml> no... the problem is that it cannot perform domain name lookups        ml> because it uses an old method that is no longer supported by the newer        ml> libs... it works just fine with IP numbers, though... especially since        ml> there is no DNS lookup for them ;)               MvdV> That workaround works only for static IP numbers. Many - if not        MvdV> most - nodes are on a dynamic IP.              true but it does work for them as well... one just needs to update the entry       in IREX before attempting the connect... yes, a PITA but a possibility...              )\/(ark               * Origin: (1:3634/12)    |
