Lynx on my Suse Version 7.0, kernel 2.2.16 PC does not seem to find my local HTTP server by any of it's aliases (either in /etc/hosts or from nameserver CNAME entries)...
For example, "foo" is suppsoed to be my "localhost" HTTP server
if "foo" is an alias for host.somenet.net in /etc/hosts and "foo.somenet.net" is CNAME'd to host.somenet.net (and the domain entry in resolv.conf is for "somenet.net)
lynx foo
will not look for foo.somenet.net, it causes instead a DNS lookup to my upstream DNS.
On a sister machine on my network, running FreeBSD, but with an identical version of lynx and lynx.cfg .. it works properly.
Check /etc/host.conf and make sure that "hosts" is before "bind" on the order line. Hope that helps, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
