"The rules"? The rules as implemented, obviously.
Of course - and that's why it's printing a warning: the database cannot lookup the search term "as it was entered", and needs to interpret it - which may or may not be what you would expect. So it tells you what it made of it. (And of course the behaviour can be changed, if there is a strong voice for it in the DB WG - this is what it's for, after all :) ) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations: 65398 (60210) SpaceNet AG Mail: netmaster@Space.Net Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Tel : +49-89-32356-0 80807 Muenchen Fax : +49-89-32356-299
