Lighten up!  If you read the man for resolver(5) you will see that you
DO NOT have to put in a domain. It will default out to the root. Even in
a large networked environment, this will work.  I am not a expert on 
network administration, but the entry that I recommended in the previous
posting was derived at by spending several hours on the phone with 
Interactive's network guru's, and more importantly, it works (for me at
least!).  Setting up my little network here at kodak was not the easiest
thing that I have done, and when tied into kodak's VERY LARGE backbone,
I ran into lots of problems and the whole thing became a muddied nightmare.
I envy your savvy on administrating your network, but not all of us are 
at that level yet.  Constructive critisism is fine here, and we ALL can 
benifit from the input, but negitive critisism tends to turn people off,
even if you are right.
