Sorry, I was taking the above question as a separate question, not necessarily relating to the original context. I do specify some of my ISP's DNS as forwarders to bind, and I use bind because my machine's the server that looks after the names for the machines on our internal network, so it's the authoritative server there for a private thing that isn't in the "world's" domain name system. -- Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
