Tonight we encountered something very strange. I hope somebody can help with this mystery... We have three domains... domain1.com, domain2.com, domain3.com. In our /etc/ns directory we have three database files for them: db.domain1 db.domain2 db.domain3 We have often added and changed records as needed, being sure to increment the serial number each time and doing a kill -HUP on the named process to reload it. Today...we made some additions to db.domain3. The changes were correctly reflected throughout our local network and, using nslookup, I was able to confirm that the changes were visible from outside name servers as well. However, when I tried making changes to db.domain2, even though the changes were correctly reflected throughout our local network, using nslookup none of the changes were visible from outside. The new records I added were as though they did not exist, to the outside only. Can anybody think of a reason why this might be so? Thanks, in advance... Doug Lerner, Tokyo doug@inJapan.net
