(Whew! Did you get all that?) So the test is, is the referral "less than" (i.e. lower down than) the name of the previous referral? In the cases being logged, the answer is no (or, in programmer-speak, "!"). To further illustrate the point, here is a normal recursion path (right to left), complete with "less than" signs: www.menandmice.com. < menandmice.com. < com. < . ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 2:38 PM -0500 6/9/03, Mia's Virtual Post Office wrote: >Ok, but what/where is the "< >EMAILUS-DOMAINSALESATDOMAINCOLLECTION.com" coming from?
