No, in my setup it should not do that without admin intervention. Doing that means it's likely to cause security-related problems. I use DNSSEC and don't want to trust random resolvers, I want to trust the one that I've set up myself and that I know verifies signatures and that lives on ::1. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
