Ok. The named.conf looks fine, if fairly minimal. I think that the problem is the errors in your zone files that named is complaining about. Bind 9 is rather stricter about several questionable constructs. The "CNAME and other data" thing is a case in point --- you can't mix CNAME's and other RR types for the same RRset: ; Illegal... foo IN CNAME bar IN MX blurfl You shouldn't even have multiple CNAME's in the same RRset: ; Illegal... foo IN CNAME foo1 IN CNAME foo2 although you used to be able to persuade Bind 8 to accept that given the correct options {}; statement. The "no TTL specified; using SOA MINTTL instead" thing you're seeing on those slave zones is just a warning and shouldn't prevent your server working. If the master for those zones is running Bind 8.2 or higher, you might prevail on the admin to add a reasonable default TTL at the top of the file: $TTL 7200 ; Default 3h TTL on RRs Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
