Do I have my records right? This only appeared when I >setup my reverse records. This is probably because ns2.nextnet.com isn't responding to DNS queries. I also noticed that your zone file doesn't have any A records for your name servers. Internic has the following records: ns1.nextnet.com. A 207.246.235.210 ns2.nextnet.com. A 207.246.235.211 You should also have such records. Lastly, Internic has the following delegation records for your reverse zone: 235.246.207.in-addr.arpa. NS flower1.mobilenetics.com. 235.246.207.in-addr.arpa. NS golfview.mobilenetics.com. But neither of these servers is authoritative for this zone. The net result of this is that no matter what you put up for your reverse records, nobody will see them until this matter is straightened out. Of course, when it is straightened out, your ISP will no doubt tell you that either (a) you're not authoritative for your reverse at all, or (b) they're going to give you a classless delegation for your subnet. Either way, you're not going to want a reverse zone for 235.246.207.in-addr.arpa. But don't throw it away, it can be useful for generating a classless delegation file. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com http://www.menandmice.com
