Thanks for the message - yes I enabled allow-update { IP address; etc} still
to no avail. I suspect the DNSplugin extension (on the Mac) to be doing
this and so my target is to stop the Mac from doing it rather than allowing
it to continue but to find out the real reason why. There is no need for it
to attempt to do it as we are not running any kind of DNS servers on the
Macs (that I know of!!) More importantly it doesn't happen with earlier
implementations (8.5/6 1.0.1) of the same software, only the MacOS 9.04
version and Linux is the only system that tells us that its happening!!
Regards and thanks,
Bruce.
