| 48 | nice expression :-) | |
| 49 | isn't there a way to limit the time the program waits for the DNS query reply? | |

| 53 | </I>><i> >That way, services don't choke. | |

| 55 | </I>><i> That has nothing to do with the problem; see above. | |

| 57 | This has nothing to do with the problem related to dns resolving, i agree, but it would help by not having everything | |
| 58 | stuck in services... just getting it stuck one step further in a different process :-) That way services will at least | |
| 59 | function better. | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | ><i> If you want to patch Services to do things this way, fine. | |
| 62 | </I>><i> I won't support it. (But I do have E-mail functions on the list of | |
| 63 | </I>><i> features to be added for 5.0.) | |
| 64 | </I> | |
| 65 | Nope.. i don't have that much time on my hands... I wish i did though. | |
| 66 | I could then finish up the things that get postponed to tomorrow. | |
