The IP address uniquely identifies a network node. The node name is a convenience and an address-name association must be defined somewhere (in name server, local hosts file, etc.). Domains partition the namespace and allow distribution of services; e.g., each domain has a name server which are heirarchically invoked when resolving a name, as opposed to a single network-wide name server. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
