How should I do it? For each zone you can only have one master, and as many slaves as you like. Before setting up a DNS server, *please* read about the topic. I suggest "DNS and BIND" (O'Reilly). > 5) Is mySQL in the port list? If it is not, how do I go about installing it. MySQL is in the ports. Greetings, B.
