hi, you'll probably have to tell bind to use recursion for fetching adresses which are not in his authority. in options, set "allow-recursion { 127.0.0.1; };". if you want others on your network to use your bind, too, also add "192.168.1/24;", for example. -- Grüße / Regards, Oliver If you suspect a man, don't employ him.
