If I ping darkstar.tomqnx.com which is a real computer, no dial is forced. If I ping "news", which is not defined, a dial is forced to ask the forwarders for the address of news.com (eliminate this with the search command). Then the problem: It asks the forwarders for the address of "news." which is the nasty thing. It is this last recursion that I would like to eliminate. Is this possible?
