texte = For you guys that are using Mac OSX Server you should be able to use little snitch to see when WebDNA is calling home. Look for calls to http://license.smithmicro.com If the calls coincide with the crash, you have then worked out the first part of the problem. If you can work out what the call is and the expected response you can use "hosts" to route the call back to your own server. This is mostly theory but I would be interested to see what you come up with.
