JO>>[csm@stealth csm]$ cat /etc/host.conf JO>>order hosts,bind JO>3) Bind on Linux defaults to using the hosts file before going to an JO>upstream DNS server. No. The name resolution order of preference is controlled by the /etc/host.conf file. What happens is that when the stack needs to resolve a name to an ip address it will look in the host file first. If it's query remains unanswered after looking in the host file then it will query the name servers. So you see it's not bind doing the looking it's the ip stack which has been handed a name and must resolve the name to an ip address before it can continue. - -- csm Dmitry is free! Boycott Adobe!
