You might have a few things you need to set-up. Sounds like you already had nT before Linux. If it's that crappy Nt 4.x then you might initially create the domain on nT (server or workstation?) and then have Linux pull it as secondary. Create the domain and be sure to include both boxes as NS entries (all boxes listed at Internic as NS). A non-authoritive answer means you are either asking an external DNS (ISP?) or the box is not listed as NS. Not a big problem if it returns the correct answers. After pulling the domain from nT you'll then have an 8.x file you can easily modify to be a primary on Linux. I did this to migrate from nT. You don't need data about the default gateway, just the address and you can make up your own name for it if you wish, the internet won't ask your server about it, just the internal users that point to you for DNS. Once you get one domain file working, you'll see it isn't too difficult. Isn't Linuxconf creating the domain correctly? Check that the hostname is the same that Internic is expecting to see (otherwise, non-authoritative). d.
