What's with the trailing dot at the end of the LHS (left hand side) of the second record? The above two records -- as given -- likely describe two different domain names. The first record's LHS is a relative name <faxcore1.mwro>. You don't give the origin, but if the origin is <aspca.org.>, then the FQDN would be <faxcore1.mwro.aspca.org.> The second record's LHS is an FQDN <faxcore1.mwro.>. Full stop, nothing more. So the top-level domain (akin to <com.>) would be <mwro.>, which is not registered. It's very unusual to have that in a public-facing DNS server. It generally doesn't work. Is that dot really there? Or is it a typo in your transcription? -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
