Well, the program didn't work at all (at least here, Sun Solaris 2.5.1 Sparc, Perl 5.003) and now it does. Before it only connected to one of the numbers in the hosts file, now it does to all of them.
I gave the original program a quick try. I looked at /proc and saw the correct number of file descriptors, but a netstat|grep on my userid did not show any actual connections.
I put it aside and was going to step through it with the debugger when I got a free moment, and report back when I had figured out what the problem was.
There were several problems. One of it still remains, it does not resolve FDQN's, so you have to use IP-numbers in the hosts file. -- | Patrick Oonk - http://patrick.mypage.org/ - patrick@pine.nl | | PGP Key ID 0xDA2E93FA - Internic PO59 - <clicketyclick> | | Pine Internet B.V.
