Not just networking, but networking with an open link to the internet. I'm not sure if there's going to be anything where that distinction will matter, but there might be. In some sense I'd rather these tests ran by setting up two VMs (rumpy or otherwise), one with bind and one with the resolver. Among other things it would be more likely to produce consistent test results. -- David A. Holland dholl...@netbsd.org
