In digging around more to get more logs of what's going on, I think I found the culprit: for security, I'd denied the probe from talking to my home server/gateway (but maintaining forwarding to elsewhere) as it has no business talking to that box (or anything else internal). However - that also stops it doing DNS from that same box - d'oh! In other words, looks like I was being an idiot and the problem was at this end! Thanks for your assistance - will keep an eye on the Atlas control panel to see it appear online. -- David Precious ("bigpresh") <davidp at preshweb.co.uk> http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ www.preshweb.co.uk/twitter www.preshweb.co.uk/linkedin www.preshweb.co.uk/facebook www.preshweb.co.uk/cpan www.preshweb.co.uk/github
