Can you give us some more information regarding your internal network?
Do you have a dns server internally? Is palmetto.dnsalias.net a redhat
box? Are you running NAT to your internal network?
mjb
Here's my setup: I have a dynamic ip address on DSL. I'm using
dnsalias as my dynamic DNS provider. I'm running RH 8.0 with all the
updates. Not sure but I think NAT is running. I had some help with
that.
/etc/named.conf:

};
include "/etc/named.custom";
include "/etc/rndc.key";
options {
directory "/var/named/";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};
zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
};
zone "dnsalias.net" {
type master;
file "/var/named/dnsalias.net.hosts";
};

# host palmetto.dnsalias.net
palmetto.dnsalias.net has address 151.213.88.57
# host -t mx palmetto.dnsalias.net
palmetto.dnsalias.net has address 151.213.88.57
# host mail.palmetto.dnsalias.net
palmetto.dnsalias.net is an alias for palmetto.dnsalias.net.
Here's the kicker:
# host -t ns palmetto.dnsalias.net
#
Nothing!!!!
It has me stumped. I've been reading ttill my heads hurts. :-)
Thanks
