You've got other data for ccs-online.com. :-) But you did already knew that? Oh well, you simply cannot do it. There's always other data for the base of a zone, at least a SOA.

Anyway, re-consider it, and see if an MX for your domain would suffice. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
