In most cases the hostname in the SOA record is not used, so it's not important what it is. The only common use of it is if dynamic DNS updates are in use, it tells the clients where to send their updates. I expect that they will follow CNAMEs. -- Barry Margolin, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arlington, MA *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***
