I understand that QDNS >automatically builds reverse listings, right? Am I missing a server >setting to respond to reverse lookups? I just emailed you a detailed answer to your previous question. [NOTE: I found several errors in your current setup.] In it, I mentioned that you should get US-West to enter reverse records for you in their reverse zone file. QuickDNS Pro Admin can generate a reverse zone file for you, if you ask it to. However, in this case, it won't do you any good. You need to get your provider to do this, because they are responsible for your addresses. They haven't delegated them to you, nor have they entered them as they should in their own file. ________________________________ Chris Buxton Internet and Database Consultant
