Really?  You never have to diagnose or influence deployment issues as a 
programmer?  Does your favorite programming language exist in a vacuum where 
computers and networks and DNS servers have no relevance?

I should think a real programmer would find the relationship obvious.

Maybe, and this is generally true at least in Java's case, because he's 
dealing with an environment where networking is a vital part of the 
programming requirements?  Don't PHP and C++ programmers ever have to deal 
with networking issues like that?  Isn't getting your program actually to run 
in the desired environment an essential part of the programmer's skill set?

You will note, I'm sure, that at least the Java newsgroup is geared to the 
programmer, not just the language as such, and Java programmers being 
generally a pragmatic bunch generally like their software to actually deploy 
and do useful things.  I find the question entirely on topic.
