|No not netscape have the problem but if you set up an name server you have to

I've found that netscape doesn't try to connect to a netscape-site but
tried to resolve news-server instead. For instance, I had files
$HOME/.newsrc-<not-a-valid-host> and it tried to resolve
<not-a-valid-host>. You may check your situation by sending a 'kill -WINCH
<named-pid>' to your locally running named. This will log all requests to
syslog.
