We explore the supergravity solution of D5-branes intersecting as anI1-brane. In a suitable near-horizon limit the geometry is in qualitativeagreement with that found in the microscopic open-string analysis as well asthe NS5-brane analysis of Itzhaki, Kutasov and Seiberg. In particular, theISO(1,1) Lorentz symmetry of the intersection domain is enhanced to ISO(1,2).The discussion is generalised to the T-dual configuration of a D4-braneintersecting a D6-brane. In this case the ISO(1,1) symmetry is not enhanced.This is true both in the supergravity approximation to the weakly coupledstring theory and to the M-theory limit.Comment: 9 pages. Added comments about the near horizon limit take
