A last bit of clarification, the 3 part (level) 'nodename' has absolutely nothing to do with Domain Name Services, in fact it is not used by ARPA/Berkeley services and NFS, it is ONLY used by HP's proprietary services (NFT and RFA). Unfortuately, this has been a point of confusion for several customers. Art Harkin Hewlett Packard "No, we did not implement a lobotomized version of BIND"
