Dear List reader and especially list writer,

I usually get around the missing of subselects, but now i really don't know how to do 
without whats impossible at the moment.. 
In a rather big query involving 7 tables, one of the tables has to meet 5 conditions. 
Can somebody tell me how to do this
within a 3.23 environment, tia.

a) the Value X of this table must be the same as value X of the other table.
b) the table has a row which have a value X in column 2
c) the table has a row which have a value Y in column 3
d) the table has another row which have a value X in column 2

e) the table has a maximum of 2 rows with X in column 2


<shortened query>
select a1.DOMAINNAME
from 
  CUSTOM_ARECORDS   as a1,
  CUSTOM_NS             as n1,
  CUSTOM_NS                     as n2
where 
  a1.DOMEINNAME=n1.DOMEINNAME and                  // Point A
  n1.DOMEINNAME=n2.DOMEINNAME and
 
  a1.CUSTOM_ARECORDTARGET='xx.xx.36.18'                    // Other table
  and
  n1.CUSTOM_NAMESERVER='ns1.isp.com.'              // point B
  and
  n1.CUSTOM_PRIMARY='1'                                                    // point C
  and
  n2.CUSTOM_NAMESERVER='ns2.isp.com.'              // point D
</shortened query>

        I want to have a max count of rows which meet the A -condition not bigger then 
2

point E by impossible subselect
                from CUSTOM_NS as sn1,
                where 
                sn1.DOMAINNAME=a1.DOMAINNAME ) < 3 ;
