Re: more spooky stuff on the net!

Daryl,

When I do your python program, I get:

=========================================================
emu/akenning> python
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Jul 23 1999, 06:38:16)  [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs- on linux2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import socket
>>> for host in ['www.geekboys.org', 'geekboys.org']:
...     print host, '=>', socket.gethostbyname(host)
...
www.geekboys.org => 212.78.194.207
geekboys.org => 212.78.193.215
>>>
=========================================================

Which confirms the same thing.
It's clearly this wierd socket which is caching
IP packets.
And I've been getting similar symptoms to this
(but not so closely analyzed) ever since I got
this SuSE 6.2 linux.
When I've solved it, I'm that the SuSE people will want
to fix this up, if it isn't of my own doing.

Cheers, and thanks for that and the other info,
Alan Kennington.
