Are the servers authoritative for your reverse domain as well? A misfeature of nslookup is that before it sends to query you asked it for, it first does a reverse lookup of the server IP, so that it can report the name of the server it's using. But if there's only one server, it will apparently use it regardless of the error. If you're trying to troubleshoot DNS, you really should use "dig" rather than "nslookup". -- Barry Margolin, bar...@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
