well, first it's not called subdomain.madduck.net :) and then, currently, this is a merely internal test. none of my forwarders, of which pns.dtag.de is one, knows about subdomain.madduck.net. note the 192.168.14.0/24 subnet choice. all this is within my private lan. i have three dns servers, two only for the purpose of testing. they all run bind 9.1.3. 192.168.14.1 is the main dns server, which does recursion - all my lan resolves through it. it is authoritative for home.madduck.net on 192.168.14.0/24 only, and forwards everything else to some eight dtag.de servers. it has an NS record for subdomain.home.madduck.net pointing to ns{1,2}.subdomain... and contains A (glue) records for ns{1,2}.subdomain... to 192.168.14.1{3,4}. 192.168.14.1{3,4} are two test servers authoritative for subdomain.home.madduck.net. however, while queries to e.g. mail.subdomain.home.madduck.net against 192.168.14.1{3,4} resolve just fine to 192.168.14.7, the same queries fail with NXDOMAIN when placed against 192.168.14.1. that's my problem and even though i did everything you have to do, nothing works. thanks for your time! martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- as i was going up the stair i met a man who wasn't there. he wasn't there again today. i wish, i wish he'd stay away. --hughes mearns
