You say my DNS servers - if you own them, why not just look at the named.conf? grep zone named.conf should tell you pretty quickly. If you are using external hosting, you will need to talk to your provider. They should be able to provide you a list. t. -Original Message- From:

BIND already creates an internal view _bind with class CH to contain the zones version.bind, hostname.bind, authors.bind, etc. I was thinking in terms of zones.bind living there as well. Of course there's the barber-shaving question: should zones.bind contain an entry describing itself? My
