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:

Same as BOP Polytech (frodo, aragorn, mordor...) for various servers since forever. Not very surprising really...*cough*geeks
