Ok, I'm confused. If I want intranet.hmv.co.jp I have to put something in 
hmv.co.jp. BUt I can type in hmv.co.jp and go to a web page. But hmv is not 
a machine in the co.jp zone ... hmv.co.jp is a machine in the hmv.co.jp zone 
...

I totally agree! Hence the reason I want to use intranet.hmv.co.jp instead 
of intranet.intranet.co.jp ;) But I agree that int is better.

I disagree. I can type intranet in my web browser and it brings up the 
default apache web page for intranet.intranet.hmv.co.jp ... but if I type in 
top40 it brings up nothing. top40.intranet.hmv.jp works though.

And speaking of windows ... Does it keep a DNS cache? named is currently not 
running but I can still access local machines by name. I'm guessing my win2k 
box is keeping a cached copy of the DNS request reply?
