AFAIK it is a glibc patch. The .local domain is dedicated to multicast DNS: http://files.multicastdns.org/draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns.txt
Interesting. That doc appears to define the top-level name ".local." as special rather than ".local" - is glibc too enthusiastic?
Every domain technically ends with a ., which indicates just the root of the DNS. Technically correct, it's not www.opensuse.org, but www.opensuse.org. (with a dot). You can even enter it in your browser and it will resolve correctly. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
