Ummm, if you run the authoritive name server for foo.com then add a line like this to the zone file for foo.com 104 IN A 127.0.0.1 But replace 127.0.0.1 with the machine (104's) internet IP address. Also make sure you update the timestamp at the top of the zone file. Its a number like 2003100401, replace it with the date in a format like this YYYYMMDD and just add 01 to the end, incase you make another chage that day then you can just +1 so its 2. After all that reload you name servers config. In debian /etc/init.d/bind9 reload (assuming your using bind9 and installed it via apt) Otherwise refer to any docs you got with your name server Best of luck :D -- Cheers, rinmak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
