No, that's not how it works... (at least, the Win2K/XP-style of this) It works based on the system's hostname. If you set your Windoze hostname to blah.domain.com, then the server in domain.com's SOA is going to get blasted with all those RFC 2136 updates. In your case, I'm guessing your customers had (automatic DNS configuration through DHCP? PPP?) a hostname in your domain, so that's actually why the updates went your way, not because you were their primary/secondary DNS in their DNS config. Vivien -- Vivien M.
