Subject: Netscape Navigator 3.01 without named
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

Has anybody else noticed the problem that Netscape Navigator 3.01 wants to 
get DNS data before querying a host? My local setup works with a /etc/hosts file
and /etc/host.conf is:

	hosts
	bind

I am unable to get Netscape connect to the local httpd even if I enter its IP address,
Netscape keeps complaining about not finding the hosts DNS entry (although it is located
in the /etc/hosts file). Do I have to start named (and live with the overhead) to get
it working properly?
