Thanks Eric,

Guess I should pay more attention to what we release to the public. ;)

Actually, the ident code in the released version of DG is the same
as what is in TW.  Dave wanted me to take out his ident stuff before
releasing it.  I have a patch against stock Circle available for it
too on the circle ftp site.  Dave's does handle slow nameservers
better, but its about the same for the identd handling (perhaps with
less overhead).
