???? The DNS server could be anything. Generally you'll find the below: Home networks - The DNS servers will be set to your ISP's DNS servers. Small business - Same as above Medium business - Usually use their ISP's DNS, but may have an internal DNS with forward lookups to their ISP's DNS. Large business - Usually run their own internal DNS, but still use their ISP's DNS servers for forward lookups. They'll usually cache DNS lookups for domains outside their network once they've done the initial forward lookup off their ISP. Hmmm. Rereading your post, I'm wondering if you meant to say that the DNS server would be a machine local to that network. If so, sorry, my misunderstanding. -- __ ____ ____ ____ TBUDL/BETA/DEV/TECH Lists Moderator / PGP 0x6C0AB16B ( ) ( ___)(_ _)( ___) TBUDP Wiki Site: http://www.PCWize.com/thebat/tbudp )(__ )__) _)(_ )__) Roguemoticons: http://PCWize.com/thebat (____)(____)(____)(__) PCWSmileys: http://PCWize.com/thebat/pcwsmileys.php Tagline of the day: Send me $19.95 for a registered, working copy of this Tagline. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.10 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
