Hi there, In case you haven't heard yet, ICANN have unanimously voted their approval to expand the domain name character set to include Asian, Middle Eastern, Eastern European and Russian character sets in domain names. In addition, top level domains will have their restrictions removed, ie any non-offensive top level domains will now be allowed. I'm guessing the inclusion of the new character sets will mean a fair amount of alteration to code that processes domain names. http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-4-26jun08-en.htm Cheers, Tim. We are BSD ... resistance is futile. http://www.freebsd.org/ - http://www.openbsd.org/ - http://www.netbsd.org/
