It sounds like their system won't let them enter more than one record of any type for any given domain name. Which is fairly brain damaged. (Among other things, it would mean you can't enter more than one nameserver for a domain.) If their system is that broken, I would strongly suggest finding a different DNS host. Reminder: The company that provides your web hosting, Internet connection, and/or domain name registration does not have to be the same company that hosts your DNS servers. > My solution (as we were unable to get fax mail to come back to Illinois > directly) was to create another A record with the same IP address of > faxcore1 – > > faxcore3.mwro.aspca.org. A 63.85.204.151 Ah. That explains it then. I was wondering why you did that. A viable workaround for Cogent's stupidity. :) -- 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
