I actually found no.such.address in line 79 of T070com2sec_simple. That host has been hijacked by barefruit.co.uk who "generates highly targeted traffic for ISPs by replacing DNS and HTTP errors with relevant advertising"; which is now causing the test case to fail. Attempting to talk HTTP to the IP gave the the impression that either my ISP is cahoots with this company; or they're intercepting the IP back to their advertisement page. On the upside, Google's and cloudflare's DNS are not resolving; but, that still means point your network to use those nameservers :( > > Bart. > > > Thanks, Keith ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot
