The TCPIP DATA goes on the 592 disk. It's the client code (e.g. PING, TELNET) that has to talk to the DNS to translate the host name into an IP address. The stack has no clue about that. We used to say that it was a good idea to run the cache-only resolver that comes with VM TCP/IP (i.e. NAMED) to avoid excessive DNS lookups going outside VM. Some installations also used it to prime the cache with a set of important host names (in case the outboard DNS was not available). But the VM DNS implementation has become a bit dated, so if you can you should probably avoid that route. Rob -- Rob van der Heij Velocity Software, Inc http://velocitysoftware.com/
