No, no... I was just wondering if it was possibly that problem.  I'll 
see what I can find about the DNS thing once I'm on my own servers.

If there is a way to set the nslookup timout, I'd like to know it. I
fear, however, that it wouldn't help, owing to the recursive nature
of DNS.  Your request would just timout somewhere else...

I dunno if its ported to Win32 yet (I assume it is) but the Excite engine
