| 345797 | 2005-04-16 12:08:00 | Hi Folks. Apart from Lord of the Rings related material..... anyone familiar with shelob? Zone Alarm has drawn my attention to my system wanting to contact shelob.xtra.co.nz. :rolleyes: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 345798 | 2005-04-16 12:22:00 | see xtra settings (xtra.co.nz) As I have: Pinging shelob.xtra.co.nz [202.27.158.40] So it appears that shelob is the primary DNS server for xtra. So yep you may be talking to it a lot to translate domain names into ip addresses. As a side note, Otago University runs amok with servers named Gimli etc.. Much more exotic than naming your servers dns.xtra.co.nz :rolleyes: |
