Hi All

I have a Windows domain called n3.local, and a server called k1 in  
the domain, and a client. When I call the line --

     InetAddress.getByName("k1.n3.local").getCanonicalHostName()

from the client, the returned string is "k1". How can I get  
"k1.n3.local"? Is there anything wrong with my Windows configuration?  
Or, I should use another Java method?

Thanks
Max
