Hey Dale, Nice to see that this behaviour is supported by an RFC, i can't count how many times i have had an IOS device plugged into same broadcast domain as a dns server. Just bind and MS-Dns servers though.. but they sure don't reply to any broadcasts and i haven't verified if the IOS devices are actually sending the broadcasts out either.
That broadcast lookup hasn't worked a single time for me (that i have noticed at least). And yeah, i think it really shouldn't try at all :) but hey.. must be some reason Cisco insist on keeping it around. -Áki _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com
