Anyway, I am having a problem with my DNS. I have setup both the primary and secondary DNS to be machines on my internal network. One of my partners wanted to put the primary on an NT box, so I let him. Anyway, when I do a `host 208.155.166.2' on a machine that is not attached to my network,I get: `Host not found'. Looking in my O'Reilly (TCP/IP Network Administration) everything looks correct. The Unix machine which is my secondary has what looks like a good backup file to me for our domain (NT just looks wrong, the addresses are not even listed in reverse order there). If I use our nameserver from the unconnected machine to do the Reverse DNS, it works fine. I get the impression from what I have read in my book that I need to have someone upstream delegate the Reverse DNS for 166.155.208.IN-ADDR.ARPA to me. Is this correct? If so, who would I have to bother to get this done? brian
