There must be something elsewhere in the zone file or named.conf that tells it that the subdomain is in a separate zone. Otherwise, it wouldn't complain about out-of-zone data. Or you've made a typo that makes it look like these new records belong in a different zone. As the other poster said, if you post the actual configuration and zone files, we should be able to tell. -- Barry Margolin, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arlington, MA *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***
