Miller" <gem@rellim.com> Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0204040931110.10828-100000@catbert.rellim.com> | Maybe it can, but that does not make it right. | | RFC 1035 "DOMAIN NAMES - IMPLEMENTATION AND SPECIFICATION" | | 2.3.1 If you actually go read that section, carefully, instead of just quoting the part from it that everyone notices first, you will see that it says something quite different from what you think it does. You need to read the part of the section that appears on the preceding page of the formatted RFC... Or see (part of) rfc2181 for a longer verison of this. kre
