$ORIGIN directive sets a name to be appended to relative names in the zone file so that they can be made into absolute names. The current origin is appended to such relatives names. See the BIND ARM for syntax and an explanation. It is also explained here: http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch8/origin.html > Would my Zone Files not work if I do not have $ORIGIN directive? Zone files do not require use of $ORIGIN. It is in fact an extension to the master format in RFC 1035. See the pointers above for more details. Mukund
