that makes sense. I followed a thread on the bind list and found a discussion about this very thing... unfortunately, it's the dns at work... so the records are nasty, it's not really my job, and I've kinda been roped into it... sorta... on the plus side, if I get it to work, they are gonna dump the bind 4.x they are currently using, and not go ahead with cisco registrar like they want (they'll use my bind9) thanks for the offer (you to kwall). I *think* I got it figured out myself (as usually happens right after I post). but, you'll hear from me if I'm wrong.. ;) -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 Admin: http://linux.nf Admin: http://hunley.homeip.net die_if_kernel("Kernel gets FloatingPenguinUnit disabled trap", regs); 2.2.16 /usr/src/linux/arch/sparc/kernel/traps.c _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
