Hi I thought it was working fine when I installed it 2005, but I kept
getting this error message

; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> www.metrokc.gov.
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

So I upgrade to the one above., 9.3.2

I still get that message

my resolv.conf file has
nameserver {ip address}

Then I tried

dig @{ip address} www.metrokc.gov.

and it works.

so is this a path problem, or do I have to run a flag for resolv.conf
to be found?

Thanks
Mike
