Actually in my case it tries to append my current domain, so when I type test it will add <myDomain> and it tries to resolve for test.<myDomain>. I agree with you that this is generally a bad thing and of course a waste of time/bandwidth as well. -- Roderick Lazaro :) "Debug is human, de-fix divine."
