Thanks a ton, that did the trick. I turned my 'manual debugging' back on, and saw that it skipped the offending host immediately and went on to the next one.

As for cleaning up, you are right on both counts, I had a lot of print statements in there trying to discern where the problems were, tons of lines commented out, etc. I also plan to go back and capture all the return values, but was going to wait until I got the error resolved.

The only thing now that's left is to have it notify me that a server is unavailable, and that's the easy part... thanks so much for your help!!
