Fair enough. (I did include the resolv.conf in the first example, but hadn't considered the caching server.) And I understand how a DNS name without a dot in it can be confusing. Even with a dot in there, DNS admins (or DHCP spoofers) can put you into a walled garden pretty easily, though. I'm not sure I see any great benefit to using the undotted names - the dot really indicates the "Internet brand" pretty strongly - but it seems to function in the environments I have easy access to. I was primarily responding to the fellow who doubted the practicality of the idea, not endorsing it. -- Ted Faber http://www.isi.edu/~faber PGP: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkeys.asc Unexpected attachment on this mail?
