Who's actually responsible for resolving 192.9.202.1 ? If it's not any of your forwarders (it's probably you), you'll need a primary entry (and a reverse) for your zone. Something like: primary my.net my.net.zone primary 202.9.192.in-addr.arpa my.net.rev Have a read of the named documentation (man) - it's pretty good. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
