Unfortunately, they don't have any documentation - they are an ISP providing me with DNS hosting. That's bout all. I believe they are running MS servers on their end, but am not certain. When I spoke with the tech there (who happens to be a personal friend), he couldn't give me tooo much info - he could tell me how to configure Windows to do this, but not Linux. His words were something to the effect "when you get it figured out, let me know". For the price (which is DIRT cheap), I'm not going to ruffle tooo many feathers.. :D
um, Which zone block would I put the allow-transfer into? My domains zone? I haven't been successful in configuring that yet. My first crack at it failed, but named starts with no errors. So I think I got something right, just not everything. When I get home, I'll post my db files if that'll help. Thanks Aaron. And for the record, your support has been invaluable. I think I owe ya a drink or three next time we're out.... Shawn -----Original Message----- From: Aaron J.
