hardly. the issue with mydomain.com is that certain *nix's have it listed in /etc/resolv.conf (or the specific equivalent) as an example although it's commented out. your joe-intelligent administrator apparently decided to uncomment it. to my knowledge, mydomain.com didn't do anything illegal, where as eugene decided to get zerocool. actually, i find it slightly funny. -ken harris toronto, canada
