I just confirmed this on a Linux system. One thing I notice is, Linux fires both IPv4 and IPv6 queries first and if both are unresolved then only it goes into domain name heuristics. That makes it a little safer. BTW, my original problem is partly because my hostname = domainname? Bad practice? But I don't find that to be so uncommon. -- Mayuresh
