Subject:   netscape only works with resolv.conf and not dns

this just has me curious...

my fbsd box runs a standalone name server, setup
w/o a problem as describe in Complete FreeBSD book.
to see if it really worked i renamed my resolv.conf
to something else. i never bothered to change it back.

after upgrading the stock netscape loaded from
my initial install of fbsd (4.76) to the 4.77 linux
version from the ports, netscape refused to use
the dns server. every other app i tried (ping, konqueror,
gaim, etc) worked fine wit the dns server. 

replacing the resolv.conf makes netscape happy but i
want to know why this is happening.

anyone else have this problem?

cheers,
jim
