I just tried this: 192.168.2.40 enterprisepenguin.com mirror and changed only one entry in the sources list to mirror with an interesting result, mirror returned a 404 not found error (expected because of named based virtual host) and then the enterprisepenguin.com [PUBLIC IP] entry hung. This say to me that dselect is doing the opisite of what of what I have my host.conf file set up is, i.e. it looked in dns first (and found the enterprisepenguin.com entry), then looked in the hosts file (and found mirror). The host.conf says: order hosts,dns Any thoughts? John
