Your DNS server is ready regardless which one you use.. The translation is done from whatever coding to pure ascii and the characters used in the DNS system is the same that is allowed as of today.. For example the domain r�ksm�rg�s.se is translated to xn--rksmrgs-5wao1o.se which easily is handeled by and DNS server since the stone-age The trick here is that all clients need to have support. For example Mozilla1.5 and Netscape7.1 have IDN support today. ( at least for browsing ) IE will most likely have support around 2005-2006 according to MS..;-) ( i.e. perhaps longhorn ) In my case you can mail me at my IDN address which is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" All email clients handles sending and reciving from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" the problem is only to handle a translation correct in to/from/cc/bcc/mailto: so that when you put in "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" you get "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" when you actually send the mail.. The recieving client then has the responsibility to translate back.. So.. until all email clients have IDN support IDN addresses will look kind of funny..;-) /Sqm ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
