It may not be your DNS servers fault. If your ISP is not forwarding reverse lookups to your DNS server, but trying to answer them themselves, then that would be the problem. On your DNS server, you should have have a reverse file (either a rev.x.x.x or db.x.x.x, or whatever you file aming scheme is). That should have the numbers that you have in your IP lock. In your named.conf fle, you should have a section like this: zone "x.x.x.in-addr.arpa" { notify yes; type master; file "db.x.x.x"; }; Where x.x.x is is the network numbers that you use. The corresponding file should have: 1 PTR mail.threeofus.com. 2 PTR server.threeofus.com. etc. etc. etc. C-Ya, enny -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tact is just *not* saying true stuff" -- Cordelia Chase Kenneth E.
