If hostname shows the correct hostname with one domain, the problem is else ware. If it is else ware, I suspect your router is adding the example.com to every lookup. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The other common case where you'll get this is forgetting a . in a BIND zone file, which causes it to append the domain name again -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
