Thank you very much. I tried what you suggested and it seems that these two servers work perfectly. In fact, I can simply set my DNS to these two servers and have the internet names resolved without any problem. The only reason I run my own DNS server is to resolve the intranet names. ~$ dig @216.171.238.66 hp.com ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2 <<>> @216.171.238.66 hp.com ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 47923 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 13, AUTHORITY: 6, ADDITIONAL: 6 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;hp.com.
