<quote who="Max Wright"> It is likely you are strugging more with DNS theory than the software -- of
which BIND is the Gold Standard. That's entirely normal. :-) I'd recommend grabbing a copy of O'Reilly's "DNS & BIND". Great stuff. - Jeff Hi Jeff; You're partly right about the theory, though my problem is a messed up named.conf which doesn't allow reverse lookups to work. I am building a new config from scratch (with the book you mentioned) and will get back to a working config that way. Yes, Bind is the gold standard, but it is also the mahogany sideboard of dns. There doesn't seem to be a better way than to work directly on the .conf file.
