 Indeed. But it's summertime, and the living is easy, fish are jumping
and the cotton is high. So I'm giving it a bit more time before deciding
/etc/dnsrewrite is not used at all.

 I've had one e-mail answer so far (and I happen to disagree with the
idea that /etc/dnsrewrite is the right solution to the exposed problem).

 I want facts. Are you using it? Are you, in practice, solving problems
with it? what kind of problems?

 Yes, but it's pretty easy to implement a basic qualification mechanism
based on 'domain' and 'search' lines in /etc/resolv.conf. Implementing
the whole /etc/dnsrewrite stuff, compatibility or not, is a lot more
effort and a lot more code.
