<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yes, opensim is doing DNS resolution for the remote
client. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This is a frequent problem area for implementations
with internal and external clients. There's added confusion because using
domain names at the client which match those used in the server works to begin
login and then fails in the handshake phase. Home networks can often solve
the problem by turning on NAT loopback in the router. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I agree that split DNS is probably
common. Perhaps someone running that environment can offer a
suggestion.</FONT> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV></SPAN></FONT></DIV>So if this is correct you're saying that
opensim is doing the DNS resolution for the remote client? That seems not
good. I mean, surely we're not the only campus with split DNS...
