It should be noted that dinosaur.com.au is not a registered domain name. Simply one I'm using on my local machine so I can learn about DNS etc. My routing table looks to be correct and I can ping and traceroute all hosts configured in my DNS setup. Turning proxies off clears up the problem, but is not the solution I'm looking for. I obviously need to specify multiple domains in Netscape's proxy setup that I do not wish to use proxies for. Your help much appreciated. -- David Henshaw dhenshaw@silas.cc.monash.edu.au
