I don't think that's going to do what you want. Domain= as I understand
it overrides line 1 of resolv. It has no effect on the nameserver lines.

>(206.25.203.10 is the DNS for os2ss.com, which hosts Warpcast. I'm

FWIW, both os2ss and warpcast are up (according to Netscape). Warpcast
responds normally to nslookup:

[d:\bbs]nslookup www.warpcast.com
Server: rns1.earthlink.net
Address: 207.217.126.81

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.warpcast.com
Address: 206.25.203.224

os2ss does not:

[d:\bbs]nslookup www.os2ss.com
Server: rns1.earthlink.net
Address: 207.217.126.81

*** rns1.earthlink.net can't find www.os2ss.com: Server failed

tracerte can resolve the address, but shows it's a pretty slow path.

os2ss has been down a lot lately, so it's possible the name server that is
responsible for serving it's domain has some residual problems.
