Unfortunately, no. And you can't even use a TLD table to know which TLDs require an extra dot because TLDs some swing both ways ! For instance, you can have both gnomovision.fr and gnomovision.com.fr. >From http://www.afnic.asso.fr/enregistrement/nommage-fr.html, the known subdomains for .fr are : .aeroport.fr .assedic.fr .asso.fr .avocat.fr .avoues.fr .cci.fr .chambagri.fr .chirurgiens-dentistes.fr .com.fr .experts-comptables.fr .geometre-expert.fr .gouv.fr .huissier-justice.fr .medecin.fr .nom.fr .notaires.fr .pharmacien.fr .port.fr .prd.fr .presse.fr .tm.fr .veterinaire.fr There might be others. It's probably madness to try to track that. -- André Majorel <URL:http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> std::disclaimer ("Not speaking for my employer");
