THe problem in irex linux is that many people there using linux has got
this error and irex linux not like using directly hostnames lookup and poll
it. to solve this error is there a way to resolve it is it to set irex to
lookup hostname off and then use ip addreses instead of hostnames until
Charles has manage to make a new vesion of irex there has fixed the
problem.
I using the way to manage the problem be nodes ip by writng down the
hostname for nodes I polling by "in linux shell checking if a link can
be pinged by hostname" and make a "ping bbs.ftngate.net" it
gives a ip xx.xxx.xxx.xxx and I write it down and put it in to the links ip
instead of hostname and it working no errors from irex.
