At least in Linux, it actually depends on the contents of file /etc/nsswitch.conf . If there's an entry like "hosts: files dns" in that file, then /etc/hosts is processed before DNS. If there is "hosts: dns files" then it's the other way - /etc/hosts file is consulted only when DNS is not available. It can even be "hosts: dns" in which case /etc/hosts file is not used at all, or "hosts: files" when only /etc/hosts is used and DNS is not used at all. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."
