I remember reading some stuff on it and getting a bit lost. Clearly the tutorial assumed I had thousands of hosts and the complexity was worth it. Or else I misunderstood stuff to be more complicated than it is. I've been doing the zone transfers by hand (updating bind.config.local and restarting bind). A kludge, but I don't exactly change host name/ip bindings very often. But it would be nice to do this. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> +1 215/837-2287 GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:
