Message-ID: Date: 4 Jan 91 06:14:37 GMT Distribution: world,local Organization: University of Arizona Lines: 12 I have a few question concerning the way emacs lookups hostnames (for various applications within emacs: ftp, telnet, GNUS, etc). The system I use it very dependent on nameservers to lookups hosts and consequently we have very small and incomplete /etc/hosts. Is there some way to get emacs to lookup hosts thru the local nameserver? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
