I have heard that if something else is used to do the dns lookup other than the kernel/glibc, that these crashes don't happen as I believe that this is a problem with other applications.

If this is true, can someone point me in the directions of getting around this problem.

Are you running nscd on these hosts? We've had a bunch of applications from ISVs that would crash in a similar manner (on linux and solaris) if nscd wasn't running. But would work fine it nscd was running, and was caching host info. -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com Beer recipe: free! ~= Source Cold pints: $2 ~= Product Safe rides home, any hour: $25 ~= Technical Support
