Has anyone had any problems running xnlock on Apollos? (specifically  os
sr10.1, MIT X11 release 4 with all patches). After a reasonably long run of
xnlock I return to find that all remote xterms and other clients are dead, and
that our BIND cannot resolve hostnames: xloads die and xterms are inactive,
etc. Taking the network (ie: domain ring) down and immediately up again cures
the problem, but of course you've lost all the remote xterms, etc. I do this
with:

	ifconfig dr0 down;ifconfig dr0 up

Can anyone offer any reason why this is happening???? (I'm baffled :-)
