<DIV>Thanks for the reply Jay.<BR>I agree your question is important to know
for administration purposes.<BR>But don't you agree that order is not an issue
for me (I have no defined DNS servers)?<BR>Unless there is a hidden "default"
server polled?<BR><BR>CHEERS<BR><BR></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess my question is are you sending <A
href="mailto:n1ohx@n1ohx.ampr.org">n1ohx@n1ohx.ampr.org</A>, or <A
href="mailto:steven2@gwi.net">steven2@gwi.net</A>?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>one is for amateur radio purposes and you will
need an pre-compiled domain.txt by an amateur authority</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>for those purposes. the second is an internet
address that should be looked up dynamically, on-the-fly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>assuming you only have specific internet
addresses that you send to repeatedly, once in domain.txt</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>they should be brought out of there by default
before even attempting a query over the net.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Make sure the "Domain update" parameter is
correct.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>only other thing I can offer, and to this day I
don't know why I have to do it, was</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>suggested to me by ka1nnn. Why or how it works I
do not know, but</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>this NEEDS to be at the TOP of your
domain.txt</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>$origin ampr.org.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Without that, we could not get Jnos to read
.ampr.org addresses from domain.txt without</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>checking the file, before attempting to resolve.
There may be other things you can do with $origin</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>good luck Skip,</FONT></DIV>
