Thanks to both of you. I have to confess that my brain is starting to  
fade on this one.

I'm happy with the idea that a DNS query either returns a result or  
doesn't. The impression I got from Mr Forster's post was that the  
distinction is more complicated than that and involves different  
kinds of error being returned. I've kinda reached the stage with this  
one where I'd love to learn more about it, if the problem was  
happening to me - at one remove I'm just kinda "peh!" about  
understanding it further.
