Robert! On my system, tinydns is root wheel. Check that. I have the same filesize, though. > .private.network::localhost > .1.168.192.in-addr.arpa::localhost > +myrouter.private.network:192.168.1.254 > +sun.private.network:192.168.1.3 > +mac.private.network:192.168.1.2 > +web.private.network:192.168.2.1 > +pc.private.network:192.168.1.4 You want to fix those. They incorrectly use + which is used to build A records (aliases) only. If you start the lines with an =, then you get the A records and the PTR records. You can prove to yourself that it's wrong by sitting down on a computer that resolves from tinydns and doing an nslookup 192.168.1.2 which will fail. Take a look at J. Nilo's tinydns docs which have clarified this and a few other issues.
