Nonono; the other thing you do with commented lines :) You need the "domain berklix.org" (or a similar "search" line) for it to guess a domain for non-FQDN lookups. That'll tell it to check "flat.berklix.org" if it can't find "flat" (or the other order; I can never remember); otherwise how would it know what to try? -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
