DNS Expert came across multiple delegation-type errors in your zone. It boils down to this: Your two servers (ns1 and ns2) have different zone files. The secondary name server has a messed-up looking copy, but that copy has a higher serial number, which is probably why it isn't updating like it's supposed to. The solution: On ns2, in the Finder, find the zone file for valueport.com. It should be in the Secondary Data folder. Trash it (and empty the trash). Then pull up QuickDNS Pro Server and select Restart from the file menu. Assuming ns2 is set for secondary service (instead of as a second primary), it will pull the correct copy of the zone from ns1. After that, things should work fine. If not, I'll take another look. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com http://www.menandmice.com
