Matt, Thanks for the quick response. The querying client is this case is not a server it is infact a handheld device. And we can not put any search order in this device. We can only tell it to which DNS server to query and what URL which is http://mms Thanks Prabhat.

For example > instead of http://mms.ora.com the clients will try to access http://mms This is actually accomplished by configuring a domain search order on the client systems (at the stub resolver) not on your DNS servers. On unix systems, this is done with the 'search' directive in the /etc/ resolv.conf file. On Windows systems, the DNS search order is configurable in the network preferences where you set up your DNS servers. If you're using DHCP, you can supply the DNS search order as one of the elements that the DHCP server hands out, with most DHCP servers. Hope this helps, Matt
