This would contradict the man page for host.conf which explicitly says the arguments must be separated by commas. I tried it both ways and found no difference for either local or remote lookups. However, I'm not sure if /etc/nsswitch.conf doesn't obsolete this file... Either way, it would seem to be at least a documentation bug for host.conf. -- Eric G. Miller <egm2@jps.net>
