The URL not the best analogy. . . .
It's having a name in the name server which may be thought of as analogous
to cataloging a data set - sort-of.
Point well taken!
Incidentally, in connection with an earlier post, I guess you realised
that, by "no name server", Ulrich meant he wasn't *running* a name server
not that he wasn't *using* a name server - and the name server
specifications are actually in the resolver or the TCPIP.DATA files, not
the PROFILE. You probably knew that too but your fingers let you down.
Yes and yes. My post was sloppy for which I apologize.

J.R.
The URL not the best analogy. Within an URL you can use an IP address just
as easily as a name if you have to. I've even done that in anger and not
just to test out the idea when I had to contend with a dead name server.
