Curiously, only the ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net DNS entry is down; all other DNS entries appear to be functioning normally. Also, "nslookup ppa2.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net pearsoncomputing.net" returns proper information, whereas "nslookup ppa2.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net" fails. It is very late here so I cannot look into the problem tonight, but I will see what I can do tomorrow. Tim
