Hi Ian!

Ok, that makes sense, even for me.
I've just asked Ian M. to assign those two.

Hmbf. So you think I shall decide if the message is important? If one
wants to run a proxy he should know what he's doing, so it's
unimportant. Anyway, let's get the user press return.
}Right. So is there any reason why you shouldn't just remove the test ?
}What did they put it there for ?
They put the code in to test the DNS. If DNS is broken it doesn't make
much sense running cached. Unfortunately this only works for
internet-connected sites.
