Not only do you need to have the browser do another DNS lookup but you also have to worry about whether the remote server is available and that your target content has not been moved.However, I feel it's better for this to be a scary *option*, that the webadmin can decide to take a risk on or not, than for it not to be available at all.It could for instance be that the admin merely wants to pass some handling off to another server within his control, this is blocked just as if he wanted to access something on the other side of the world.-- Clive Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
