yes i've been using delete-pure-port because i thought it went with
get-pure-port both of which use a url.

i think i'd better go and study just what these things do.

i also don't think there's a problem with the nameserver because i

1) put a delay of 1s into the program per retrieve
2) removed the nameservers in resolv.conf - just worked from my local
machine
3) used a public nameserver 8.8.8.8

crashes at the same number of records everytime!

so at least we've eliminated the nameserver issue.

now i'd better look at this port stuff.
