RFC 2307. http://info.internet.isi.edu:80/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc2307.txt I have an implementation suitable for framing (under an nsswitch) if anyone is interested in doing an nsswitch for FreeBSD, and will donate the code back under BSD license. I actually think I handle error cases better than Luke Howard. Unfortunately, I was unable the attend Luke's Bay LISA talk due to a prior commitment with the local Neighborhood Watch. From what I understand, it was rather opaque, except to people like me. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
