Hello Eric,

These are the only two tests that sometimes fail on my test setup. 
Whether or not these tests pass depends on your DNS server. If I e.g. 
add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" as the first entry in /etc/resolv.conf then 
these tests pass on my setup. I think the reason is that the domain 
names used by that test resolve into 127.0.0.x and because some DNS 
servers filter these results.

Bart.
