During this last run there were times when lots of users from my team couldn't access any of the pirates sites. Others could. Boincstats showed pirates as down, but i am not sure if it really was. My browser showed time-out errors for pirates. When the contact recovered, my i.e. could reach pirates faster than firefox (about 4 Minutes earlier) Strange?! ____________ Dragons can fly because they don't fit into pirate ships

Whether it has something to do with the DNS change... I have two hosts (Windows and Linux) in different countries, both are reporting 76.15.106.184 for [pirates.]spy-hill.net, but just one Boinc of them gets onnected. [...some time of investigation...] GOT the idea, my other Boinc talks to user-160u6l6.cable.mindspring.com (76.15.26.166) - was this the previous IP? My host is up 53 days long and Boinc runs there since restart. This means, that Boinc 5.10.28 was still prone to DNS caching? I hoped the issue was repaired ages ago... ____________ Peter .-)

Does BOINC do the caching, or do you have something like nscd running (which is a good idea in principle, but I've had problems with it in practice). ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats

If nscd(8) is "name service cache daemon" then no, it does not seem to be running. I blame Boinc, specifically libCurl. There were changes done to the ways Boinc uses libCurl and it was hoped many months ago not to cache DNS anymore. ____________ Peter .-)

That is the new IP address.

Does BOINC do the caching, or do you have something like nscd
running (which is a good idea in principle, but I've had problems with it in practice).
