Does anybody have any idea why ViagraIRCD refuses to resolve IPs? The box is definetly resolving them, we have checked using a simple 'nslookup' . I am running Redhat 9 (Small).

Does "getent hosts _ip_address_" work?

eg
% getent hosts 216.109.118.69
216.109.118.69 p6.www.dcn.yahoo.com

If not then check that /etc/nsswitch.conf is set with "hosts: files dns".

Just because nslookup works doesn't mean that the system is using DNS :-)

Then I'm guessing that, for speed, the application itself isn't doing it. A number of server applications don't do reverse lookups and simply log the IP address (allowing you to work it out when you come to do reports). I don't know of this specific daemon (I've never used it) but I know of a number of others that work in just this manner.

No, the IRCd should definitely be resolving the IPs on the spot. This is a recognized bug, which says that IPs will not resolve on "newer distros". Does anybody know what changes have been made to newer versions of Linux that would prevent the IRCd software from resolving IPs? P.S. The IRCd works flawlessly on FreeBSD.

Even though this post looks dead,

This problem is corrected in the newest version of Viagra IRCd - v1.3.3
