Strange. The dash is -- and always has been -- a regular Internet host name character. Just out of kicks: have you made sure that the string in the file is honest ASCII? No em-dash or worse? Have a look at it with hexdump -C. You might try to catch the host query with tcpdump, that might work if the resolver actually doesn't swallow the thing altogether. Cheers -- tomás
