Agreed, but some code requires it. Which was my point. I'm talking smaller vendors, like Oracle. BTW, how do I fake in-addr.arpa responses for NAT'd space? My Oracle 8i server keeps checking the reverse addr every time I try to create a DB. It's really annoying. Funny thing, my DB2 servers do the same thing ...
I find it funny that PostgreSQL - while being used as replacement for Oracle by more and more people - does _not_ have this problem... I didn't even have a NIC in the server when I installed it...
