Provided of course you've read and grocked O'Reilly's DNS and BIND and done what it tells you to do. Most notably activate your NS and have it serve your domain as primary authority for that domain. It's not hard, but you'll be glad you've spend those few bucks. Alternatively register.com and gandi.net both provide free DNS services. Even simpler still. Roelof PS do not forget the mandatory secondary NS! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Eboa (ingenieursburo Office Automation) web. http://eboa.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
