Does anyone know if there is a switch/parameter or other technique to 
prevent a browser which has been supplied a destination IP numeric address 
from resolving that address with a domain name server?  My objective is 
to have it behave like telnet: if it has the IP numeric address it makes 
the connection without resolving the address.  We need this when our 
required Domain Name Servers (not under our control) are down or otherwise 
unavailable.  We're using Netscape Navigator 4.04


Thanks.
