The domaintable is generally used to force certain behavior after a
|
|
DNS lookup has occurred. It permits the administrator to make shorthand
|
|
names available for commonly referenced systems or domains by replacing the
|
|
shorthand name with the proper one automatically. It can also be used to
|
|
replace incorrect host or domain names with the ``correct'' information.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Most sites will not need any domaintable entries.

The following example shows how to replace an incorrect address people are
|
|
attempting to mail to with the correct address:
