We haven't seen crashing problems from this type of setup. The only problem we've seen is where QuickDNS replies from a different source IP than the IP to which a query is sent. On the other hand, I'm not one to rule anything out just because it hasn't been reported before. Is there any reason why the machine needs to have two IP addresses? How much memory is free on the machine? You mentioned 80 MB of the availabl 128 going to server apps, which only leaves 48 for the system. If you have virtual memory off, in my experience, the system won't fit in 48 MB. Could the system be running out of memory? If so, try decreasing the allocation to QuickDNS - it probably doesn't need more than 5 MB, in reality, especially if you're not using it to resolve outside names. You might also want to follow up with Stalker - I notice the "b" in the version string. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
