A 208.33.90.85", but the PTR record for 85.90.33.208.in-addr.arpa. is "ns.serensoft.com." One of the above two records are wrong unless the host is a name server or mail server.

This is probably OK. and i'd like 208.33.90.85 to be serensoft.com eth1, visible everywhere (as it already is) 192.168.1.100 to be mac.serensoft.com but invisible to the outside net, and it should be able to ping win.serensoft.com 192.168.1.200 would be win.serensoft.com which is not visible to the outwise world 192.168.1.1 to be server.serensoft.com eth0, internal-lan only how to i separate the internal/private 'no-update' addresses from the public 'update'-able addresses, in bind/dns? -- don't visit this page. it's bad for you. take my expert word for it. http://www.salon.com/people/col/pagl/2001/03/21/spring/index1.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sourceforge.net/projects/newbiedoc -- we need your brain! http://www.dontUthink.com/ -- your brain needs us!
