 could not establish a connection with the server:
 Error resolving scs.msg.yahoo.com
 Name or service not known

 See comments on web page:
 http://prash-babu.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-fix-pidgin-yahoo-error-
 could-not.html

 Apparently multiple Yahoo Message servers:
 cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com
 cs117.msg.mud.yahoo.com

 etc.

 Need an option to add multiple Yahoo Servers, and choose the "best" one.
 I.E.  If there is a connection error, try going to the next one.

 For me, sometimes it was taking over an hour to connect, other times no
 connection.

 Seems to work with:  66.163.181.166

Comment:

 The error resolving scs.msg.yahoo.com is a DNS issue that affects only a
 portion of users.  There is no need for us to provide a way to specify
 multiple servers; instead there is a need for ISP's to fix their
 nameservers.
