> Did you try adding "forwarders { }" to the madduck.net zone definition?thanks to Kevin from the comp.protocols.dns.bind newsgroup, i found the problem. i had six forwarders configured on my main DNS server, which i thought are necessary to have with a DNS server that serves a local zone, but otherwise caches queries from the internet. however, forwarders in BIND seem to be pretty much what SMTP relays are - you can use them, but if you don't, then any smart software like postfix or bind (i.e. not micro$oft) will go and do the job themselves. now, without the forwarders line, the subdomain is correctly delegated, and while my DNS queries don't go through my provider's NS servers anymore, it still works. i'd still like to know if you can't configure forwarding so as to allow subdomain delegations... usage of the german telekom nameservers will surely save time and traffic, as they are heavily used... thanks to all who helped! martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- windoze nt crashed. i am the blue screen of death. no one hears your screams.
