Fair enough.   (I did include the resolv.conf in the first example, but
hadn't considered the caching server.)

And I understand how a DNS name without a dot in it can be confusing.
Even with a dot in there, DNS admins (or DHCP spoofers) can put you into
a walled garden pretty easily, though.

I'm not sure I see any great benefit to using the undotted names - the
dot really indicates the "Internet brand" pretty strongly - but it seems
to function in the environments I have easy access to.  I was primarily
responding to the fellow who doubted the practicality of the idea, not
endorsing it.
