Sure I could route dns queries out through a ssh tunnel but the latency makes this kind of thing unusable at times. I'm then reduced to hardwiring some critical work server IPs into /etc/hosts What do nanogers usually do when caught in a situation like this? thanks srs -- Suresh Ramasubramanian ([email protected])
