It seems like apple is a little unclear about his themselves though. Acording to this TIL article, netinfo should be consulted first. In netinfo, I have a record for ti.gbk.com pointing at localhost. Gbk.com has a wildcard in QDS. IF I'm connected to the net, I get the real web server. If I turn off airport, I get localhost. So I know I have it configured appropriately, because it does work,, BUT it says in the TIL that it's netinfo, then DNS. Clearly that's not the case. (at least on my powerbook.) Additionally, Ti.gbk.com fails completely. I ended up just adding my powerbook to the local zone. -- Aaron Lynch System Administrator NineWire Digital Solutions || http://ninewire.com I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.
