Thank you for that URL! I didn't know about those reserved names before. Seems to work really well: 'dig' Query time for sys8.admin.invalid was 1msec while sys8.admin.inval was 200. Normally queries for these names shouldn't happen and shouldn't make it to the Internet if they do, but it would be neat to use them anyway so I'll put it on my todo list. Cheers ... Duncan.
