It's supposed to ask the first server. If this times out, the next server will be asked. If the first server answers ``No such domain'', the next server won't be asked but the answer passed back to the requesting program. (If all servers time out, it will fall back to lookup /etc/hosts in the default search order.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
