Yeah I've seen it before.
What does '/quote dns i' show (as an oper)?

Yes, someone with a server linked to our network brought a clone onto the network via his server. All notices to do with it had the host as "localhost." instead of "localhost"

mustapha88: are you on windows too?

The particular server where the "localhost." stuff was occurring on is Windows, yes. I have three *nix servers and two Windows servers.

Out of curiosity, what does the Windows "HOSTS" file (I forget the exact path on XP, something like C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS) say for that IP?

His host file only contains stuff like
127.0.0.1 ace-is-a-shithead.com
(for whatever reason, I don't know)
But nothing for localhost.

codemastr: my guess is this is the 'default subdomain' stuff :p.

Actually, he informs me that he added that "lame" domain to his hosts file to see if connections coming from localhost would say "connecting at ace-is-a-shithead.com".....But, I am not sure. I do have a localhost entry in my hosts file which looks like:
127.0.0.1 localhost
I will grab the Windows version of Unreal off the site and see if I have the "localhost." issue. I am running on Windows 98, so am not sure if that will make a difference.

OK, I did try it on my system. I did /server localhost and it would always say "Unable to resolve your hostname; using your IP address instead"--Something's up, as I've been able to do that before. Does this "localhost." issue occur on *nix?

yes win + local subdomain fun. I'm aware of this for some time now (actually since I did the *NIX resolver -> windows already). I get for example 'localhost.testnet' here.

Out of curiosity, is it possible the new resolver has fixed this?

Imho after 3.2.4 (c-ares resolver) this bug not actual and need to close.
