Then there must be something very wrong with your configuration. I was testing this at one time during the development of the code and I assure you that it does work and has always worked in BIND9. >> Well operated ISP's and companies will change your IP address from time >> to time.

I get a new address when I move to a different zone. When I get back to my own office there is know way that my laptop will remember what it was previously using. Don't expect the DHCP server to do so. Danny _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
