As near as I can tell, you only need to add the final . when you don't want to append the domain name to the entry. For instance - ns1. - is translated as 'ns1' ns1 - is translaged as 'ns1.open2space.com' (or whatever domain you have set up.... This leads to some um.. interesting possibilities, and odd situations to troubleshoot. With that said, I've been basing my config file on samples I've found online, and am not getting errors with the actual name resolution, but with connectivity from other local machines on the network.... Thanks for the tips though.. :) Shawn _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
