Dan, thanks a lot for the help/advice/corrections... things seem to be working ok - got the mailhub running for several domains all on one IP. >> However, the mail hub (FBSDBox C) is posing a bit of a problem. >> If i am not mistaken, this means that the zone file for, say, >>Avirtual2.com is : >> >> ; /etc/namedb/Avirtual2.zone : >> ; Data file of hostnames in this zone. >> ; >> Avirtual2.com.

Remove it. quick explanation : this is Malaysia, the Net works differently. ;) I became sysadmin because our real sysop left to open a cafe/bar. I knew absolutely nothing about sysadmin and should have bought shares in o'reilly books. So, I used the zone/named files that were already there and have always been intrigued by this 202 in there..... but everything seemed to be working. Now I have to change the mailservers, dns and everything which means really learning how to do this from scratch... thank you everso much for putting me correct on this.
