There is no formal FAQ at present. Your question might be the occasion
to create one ;)

How did you verify that ? Did you use po_catref ? Another tool ?

Can you please detail your setup ? In particular, the OS you are using.

There may also be some glitches when interacting with the DNS. Can you
please do the following:

- ifconfig : to return the list of interfaces on your host

- hostname : to determine its name

- host <name> : to check the value returned by the resolver.

Thanks.
