Let me see if I've got this right: 1) Your ISP is responsible for your reverse zone, according to Internic. 2) Your ISP has some sort of reverse zone file up and running, but it's not necessarily correct and up to date. 3) You have prepared a reverse zone file, but using it screws things up. Assuming the above, how amenable would your ISP be to running secondary on that data, using your server as primary? So long as all servers pointed to by Internic have the correct data, it doesn't matter if your server also claims to be authoritative. If my assumptions aren't correct, please supply more info. ------------------------------- Chris Buxton Independent Consultant Specializing in Web Development
