You are right, it does not use /etc/hosts or nsswitch.conf (or /etc/host.conf) > Also, it appears that it is not using the default domain in the > /etc/resolve.conf > Is this true ? That is correct. The default domain or search domains are only used with sres_search(). The SIP/SIPS URI are resolved using three-phase algorithm explained in RFC 3263 and with sres_query() which never uses search domains. There are some problems with sres_query(), too (it abandons the search after the initial absolute query fails). There are a few open issues with using /etc/hosts or search domains. At which point we should use /etc/hosts (or gethostbyname())? Should nua or nta expand a host name in URI to a FQDN before sending it to a network? This far we have left these questions unanswered and regarded domain names in URI as domain names, not host names. -- Pekka.Pessi mail at nokia.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
