It has nothing to do with being a root server. You would have the same problem if you were authoritative for foo.com and tried to configure sub.foo.com as a forward zone. Forwarders are only used when the server needs to recurse. The forwarders simply override the nameservers in the delegation. Global forwarders override all NS records, zone-specific forwarders just override the NS records for that zone. -- Barry Margolin, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arlington, MA *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***
