Hello All!

I am wondering if anyone knows why this happens? Its not all the time but the same node always? It has a node statement, address correct etc...

Increase the *loglevel* and it might give you more info.

Your wh2bbs.us domain has an A record:

But it looks like your bbs.wh2bbs.us domain does not have such a record, and it should have one.

Something wrong with the DNS configuration for that hostname.

You are correct I had forgot to add the bbs. part of the domain that fixed it....

It does lead me to another ? tho. I had a nodestatement for that node that just had wh2bbs.us but binkd was trying bbs.wh2bbs.us? So it makes me wonder if I had a node statement in binkd.cfg why did it use the nodelist instead of that node statement?

Do you use nodelist.pl in your binkd.cfg? Or maybe you have a different binkd.cfg with bbs.wh2bbs.us in it and sometimes you start binkd with that binkd.cfg? Try to find the second configuration:

sudo updatedb
locate binkd

I do use binkd style nodelist so in my binkd.cfg I have all of my node statements and after the node statements I have an include for the nodelist. So does binkd read the nodelist before the node statements?

No, it reads the addresses from left to right. If, for any reason, the first address is not accessible, then it reads the next one. It looks like sometimes there was a problem with the first address.
