Sorry, not quite clear here, but numbers must come from somewhere, if not resolv.conf, then /etc/hosts or local named + maybe via root servers whose numeric addresses are themselves compiled into local named. List [EMAIL PROTECTED] might be the ideal place to State: - Is named running locally ? - Has /etc/resolv.conf a first entry of localhost ( = 127.0.0.1 ) ? Ask if this strategy might cause: - un-necessary load to internet root name servers ? - extra indirection on local lookups. (but this list will probably do this time, as the thread's running :-) - Julian Stacey. Unix,C,Net & Sys. Eng. Consultant, Munich. http://berklix.com Mail in Ascii, Html dumped as Spam.
