OK. At least at first look, that's what it appeared to be, and I'm no "ad" expert or user. :-/ If it's more like translating an instance name from some other naming scheme, I'd be wary of that. Having a way to treat the other scheme's name as a property and providing a way for administrators to give short instance names sounds like an easier-to-support plan to me. It'd be interesting to be able to do something like this: svcadm enable svc:/network/dns/server:foobar.com ... to mean "enable queries for domain foobar.com in the local DNS server," but I suspect that's exposing just too much internal (and abstract) detail to SMF. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
