Incorrect. The Microsoft DNS Client service may be disabled without disrupting DNS resolution through remote DNS servers. > no, it won't. what queries DNS is the resolver: no resolver, no DNs > queries. You are confusing the Microsoft DNS Client, an installed (and often counterproductive) service providing "extended" DNS services, with the generic core gethostbyname() DNS resolution API. They are not identical. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange Addresses into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
