I am not sure if the resolver code in libc does this. It can be done though, if you install a private name server, and have *it* as your first DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf If you have it ask your ISP's name server for the "." zone, you can also take advantage of that named's cache. I think so. Correct me someone if I'm making some mistake here. -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
