<p>Hi Paul,</p>
<p>I think you meant to reply to Ken, I only did a test after seeing his post, and since AU is next to Asia.....</p>
<p>I also run my own DNS's and dont use other, I also have many pull-ins of nasty domains who ought be NXDOMAIN'd so dont need the services of those types of public DNS resolvers :)</p>
<p><br /></p>
