I don't like what Verisign does. But localhost.localdomain.com is not a safe domain name. I'd recommend either to use one registered to your organization or use one of those from http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2606.html. Actually, I would go for ".test".
That's an RFC to be careful of since some numpty decided that example.com|.org|.net should not only actually resolve, but have some Redhat box running a webserver answer for it as well. At least it points you to RFC2606 which I find somewhat ironic. I always used to use example.com for docs but I can't really anymore though as Rainer said, example.test seems to be OK. For now... Cheers. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
