Thanks. BTW just to confirm that I don't need to make any changes in configuration or in zone file regarding the existing mms.ora.com? --- On Mon, 8/18/08, Matthew Pounsett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

In the file db.mms (for the mms. zone) you would insert an A record for the origin, not for a host called mms (which would end up being mms.mms.) So, if the IP address for mms.ora.com is 192.0.2.1, your zone file for mms. would look something like this: --- mms. IN SOA name.server.ora.com. admin.name.server.ora.com. ( 2008081812 30m 15m 7d 1h ) IN NS name.server.ora.com. IN A 192.0.2.1 --- Good luck, Matt
