Out of curiosity is there a reason why cert-test.sandbox.g.c resolves to so many IPs compared to www.g.c? dfc@ronin:~$ host cert-test.sandbox.google.com |grep address |wc 16 64 894 dfc@ronin:~$ host www.google.com |grep address |wc 6 25 262 I wanted to see how the various vendor ssl tests would handle sha256. Everything i tested had no problem, but they all took a little longer than usual because of the number of DNS results. PS Not that it would matter but unlike other google hosts the cert-test does not have any IPv6 records.
