It also is willing to send me a zone transfer, and the domain mostly looks fine. <ns2.4dz.ch> doesn't respond at all. The only problem I saw in your domain was an MX record that leads to a CNAME. I may be wrong, but I thought that was illegal. The problem records are: icat.4dz.ch. 1D IN MX 11 mail.icat.4dz.ch. mail.icat.4dz.ch. 1D IN CNAME 4dznticat1.4dz.ch. (The 1D is a 1 day TTL for these records.) Question: What operating systems and DNS servers are you using for <ns1.4dz.ch> and <ns2.4dz.ch>? ________________________________ Chris Buxton Internet and Database Consultant
