Mine clearly doesn't. :( > All I am provided is 127.0.0.1 - not 127.0.0.2,3... 127.0.0.1/8 just means 127.0.0.1 with a netmask of 255.0.0.0. It doesn't imply a default behavior of binding to any other address than 127.0.0.1. But I'm still really confused what you're trying to do... See, the idea of returning multiple 127.0.0.X addressess within RBL is to convey different information while using a single zone. In the beginning, the RBLs would just reply with 127.0.0.1 and use different zones to imply different contexts...now you use a single zone with different 127.0.0.X addresses to convey the same information. But...you don't actually do anything with that resolution beyond determine if a given record is listed or not. You don't actually need to configure or use the various 127.0.0.X addresses that might get returned. On the other hand, if you're using multiple rbldnsd instances, one per zone... hile it's a pain you can indeed configured rbldns to serve multiple zones. Or just bind the additional loopback instances BTW, /etc/netstart is a nice shortcut to avoid fatfingering an ifconfig. Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---
