Why don't you add a 'search' directive to qualify a bare hostname into your (real or made-up) domain to keep it in your own namespace? > .60 is my internal DNS, and .1 is the router. > > > On ".60" I've got: > > forwarders { > 71.252.0.12; > 71.242.0.12; > }; > in /etc/bind/named.conf.options.

The other way to avoid the problem would to remove the forwarders from your dns server and let them do the job right. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
