Of course it won't work for nslookup(1); it's not supposed to. nslookup is specifically intended for querying a name server. The documentation for host(1) isn't as clear on the subject, but my reading of it seems to indicate the same thing. So why it isn't working for mozilla is the only anomaly you are seeing. What is the syntax you are using for pointing mozilla at your localhost, and what are the precise results? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
