But then again, I may be blind. The point is that it is NOT reliable. Whether it works depends apon what names are matched in the search list. It does work for some people some of the time. It does not work for all of the world all of the time. "hk" is not globally unique. bsdi# ping hk PING hk.dv.isc.org (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.148 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.170 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.172 ms ^C --- hk.dv.isc.org ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.148/0.163/0.172/0.011 ms bsdi# > --=20 > Ted Faber > http://www.isi.edu/~faber PGP: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkeys.= > asc > Unexpected attachment on this mail?
