You can do subdomains with the one zone file rather than having separate zones you just have to put a new ORIGIN for the subdomain.
In the domain file for <domain> after the SOA and existing records (NS, A, CNAME etc...) add a line: $ORIGIN _msdcs.<domain>. ; New subdomain Then add the records (A, CNAME, SRV etc...) that you want for that subdomain. (You don't need to add SOA, NS etc... unless they're different for the subdomain) Jeffrey C.

This may not be the cause of the half-working situation, but it won't be helping. Do the bind logs (not sure where Fedora puts them though - /var/log/messages?) contain any errors? Unless <domain> is really '192.168.1.2', I would suggest naming your file after the zone that it is going to contain - e.g. file "data/db._msdcs.<domain>"; and file "data/db.<domain>"; Graham _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
