Someone elses >suggestion to get the Cricket book is a good idea too :) While technically accurate, the above is poor engineering practice and the cause of numerous internet "outages".

Get the O'Reilly "DNS and BIND" book. And read it. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
