Search Again: Re: A final plea From: Men & Mice Support Date: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 Time: 2:12:46 am I don't have any quick fix-it info for you, unfortunately. We've tried repeatedly to crash QuickDNS Pro using zone transfer requests, without any success (or is that, "without any failure"?). We're hard at work on QuickDNS for Mac OS X, and will be releasing it in a few weeks. What version are you currently running? There was a bug fixed in 3.0.1 involving large amounts of traffic hitting the server during launch. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
