Maybe me then :)

As I remember and as I have irex running as a extra mailer client for some
nodes, so it "11" error because that irex linux has dns lookup
error, and not like to use hostname to poll but have to use ip addressing
for polls as 11.222.222.2

It you only know a links hostname then try to do 'ping hostname' and write
the reply ping ip address down and use it.


  Take care,
