Lou,

	I looked at this pretty in-depth and couldn't find any problems caused 
by the client. While I was there, I went ahead and added support for 
Split DNS reverse lookups. Some of the forward lookup code was also 
rewritten so you may want to give the updated 1.1 beta ( now released ) 
a try. Please let me know if you see this issue re-occur.

Thanks,
