Is the web server the only address in example.com that needs to be sent outside your internal network, or is the whole example.com domain now outside your internal network? > i know the solution is simple but it escapes me..... It could be simple, it could be complex, depending on the exact situation. Another important factor is, what version of BIND is running on the internal nameserver? The simplest possible solution, assuming that www.example.com is the only hostname that needs to go outside of the firewall would be to delegate that hostname to the outside nameserver in the inside example.com zone file. It would look like this: www IN NS name.of.your.outside.name.server. Other circumstances would require variously more complex solutions. Hope this helps, Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** Nominated for quote of the year is the statement made by Representative Dick Armey (Texas), who when asked if he were in the President's place, would he resign, responded: "If I were in the President's place I would not get a chance to resign. I would be lying in a pool of my own blood hearing Mrs. Armey standing over me saying, 'How do I reload this damn thing?'"
