That is what I would expect, but it isn't happening, and I don't know why. Here's the top of /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost toccata.grg.afb.net 127.0.0.1 toccata.grg.afb.net toccata And here's the output of nslookup toccata.grg.afb.net: Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 ** server can't find toccata.grg.afb.net.: NXDOMAIN
