Hi Bernd, I'm not suggesting it as a "solution". I'm suggesting it as an "experiment", to learn more about what will happen. > "A lot of the information used by the sorting algorithm is not easy > to come by.

I'm aware of this, and not recommending doing so as a real solution to the issue. Even though I violently disagree with the existence and usage of MDNS, WINS, and all of these other mechanisms, on a personal level. > Having said that, DNS-only based implementations do have their use. > dns,sun and dnsjava are on my list to check out :) Excellent. > Bernd Matthew.
