yup. and true to my words, that url will work in some places, and not in others. as a local-seeming name it will often be tried with search lists first, which might find a dk.vix.com or whatever locally, and it will often not be tried as a dns name, since the definition of a "host" in rfc 952 and elsewhere is label . label [. label] ...". i am never cheerful about things that work differently depending on what OS, what libraries, what browser, what ISP, or what search lists and/or what dns content is "more local" to me. you can of course be cheerful about those things if you want. -- Paul Vixie
