That is fine. But it might be better if it has one. Then it would include a 'search' line in the /etc/resolv.conf file too. search example.com That search line will cause the domain to be searched when looking for names in your domain. For example looking up "sunny" would look up "sunny.example.com" due to the search line. If you have a domain that you consider your home domain then setting it up in your DHCP server will cause it to propagate through to that file and be used in DNS lookups. Most likely you have a consumer router with a DHCP server built in and it will have a field in the web administration page for it that allows you to specify a domain name. Bob
