Thus you have a classic "lame delegation". The master nameserver was indeed not thinking it was authoritative for the domain; this I saw in the slave nameservers log. But it still served the right data; it had the right serial number. I have started adding $TTL 28800 as the very first line in the zone file, to be ready for bind 9, which requires this (for some strange reason) I removed this, believing I might have made a syntax error, and the server now claimed to be authoritative. I added it in again, and the server is still authoritive. Strange... Leif To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
