Is it a Visual Studio or something like cygwin you use to compile it ?

I have VS6 at work, possible newer as well.

There is a fairly-free-edition as I understand it, I guess it should be
made to work on that (if VS is used).

But as with most people, my problem is not so much with will-power, but
with time.

Yes, I agree.

If it doesn't work, it's probably because at startup it updates the
nameservers for .

But maybe adding one extra check could solve that.

I'm not saying bind is a good example, but bind does support this
mode of operation.

Who said adding features was a bad idea (if it doesn't complicate
the code) ? ;-)
