How about allocating some "good sounding" IP addresses for them, (like 1.0.0.x/32) and hard-wiring them into resolver code? Would save quite a lot of configuration headaches for newbies.Hardwiring anything like this into a system like DNS sounds like a really bad idea if only for the simple reason that DNS is not just used on the Internet, but also within private networks. Having hardwiring IP numbers in this case would cause headaches of unimaginable proportions. Nick
Good point. So make sure there's a way to override the hardwired defaults, is all... Anyone setting up a private network with private resolvers, etc, will be clueful enough to know to include --rootserverfile named.root on the command line... --Zachayr - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
