Sean mentioned this as well. I'll try it. If it works, I'll consider it a bug, since I want my local machines to reverse as not having a domain qualification; the first entry is supposed to be the cannonical name, and I want 192.168.1.1 cannonized as "phaeton". Plus the default example "localhost" entry does it in this order, too. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
