That's exactly what I am saying. And that's the behaviour I am expecting. The "." in the host name component defines a relationship of the type : A.B.C means A belongs to domain B which in turn belongs to TLD C; and a RTL directionality (rightmost C is at the top level of the hierarchy) thus ab.EDC.HGF is the right visual representation. -- Slim Amamou | سليم عمامو http://alixsys.com
