RE: HTTPAPI returns a "Host name look up failed"

[Rich Kitterman <richardkitterman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Hi Michael,

   Thanks for the help.  It's embarrassing what I don't know.  Yes, I had
   the wrong primary and secondary addresses in the DNS configuration.
   When I changed them to the currently correct values, I got past the
   error and actually got the GEOIP program to return to the statement
   where the DSPLY occurs - which I interpret as meaning that the request
   went out and got a normal reply of some sort.  However, the
   countryname variable contains a blank value - which I interpret to
   mean that there's something still wrong.  I'm sort of like a blind man
   trying to get through a maze.  Any ideas on what I should do to
   determine why I'm not getting a value back for the country name?
   Thanks,

   Rich
