FWIW, FF3.0/Win dealt with that properly for me. It also deals properly, on the same machine, with several internal webservers, which I also hit with one-word names, but which actually resolve, of course, by the search list on the machine. So FF3, at least, will try to resolve oneword as oneword., before moving along. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
