Good idea, but this defeates the hierarchical purpose of DNS. Now my caching DNS is always querying the root DNS servers. And there might be ISPs who disallow outgoing DNS connections to somewhere else than their own DNS servers. Additionally, when jacking into someone else's LAN, I usually want to use their local DNS servers, to resolve local names. Ulrich Spoerlein -- PGP Key ID: 20FEE9DD Encrypted mail welcome!
