I am not sure what you mean by autodns-dhcp. I think that means using the dhcpd to update your bind which is nice if you do not use fixed IPs. What you may want to look at, is the file /etc/resolv.conf. Add the "search" line to it and see if it helps: search wimbledon nameserver $IP_OF_YOUR_DNS This tells bind to search the domain "wimbledon" first, if it can't resolve a hostname. So when bind can't find the host orinoco, it will then try orinoco.wimbledon which it should find. -- Matthias Hentges [www.hentges.net] -> PGP + HTML are welcome ICQ: 97 26 97 4 -> No files, no URLs My OS: Debian Woody: Geek by Nature, Linux by Choice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
