If your web browser or email client doesn't grok that (Apple's > Safari handled it just fine), I'd report it as a bug. ;-) > No typo, but Skip hit it right on the head in his explanation; the dot makes the address absolute and thus skips your search domains trying to find a match. Think of the trailing dot as specifying to go to the Net's root servers immediately instead of trying to figure out what you mean. The drawback of having me do the summaries; just finished reading 'UNIX Network Programming' so I am still in the "let's try to justify reading over 760 pages in a little over a week" mode. =) And yes, if your browser can't handle that address it's broken. =) -Brett
