no I am not sure, My DNS skills are not what they need to be. I am working on improving them. I am just getting tired of the endless worms and spyware that somehow finds it way onto a windows 2000 server. hell there isn't even a monitor on that computer, other than windows update it has never even browsed the web. so I decided it was time to brush up on my skills and ditch the windows DNS. what I have found out since I made this post is that recursion has not much to do with reverse lookup. it would appear that I was confused. I really do thank everyone for their input it is helpful. Sam Fourman Jr.
