If so, I know that the problem's with the primary. Domain name, unique file name, address of primary server. Yup, that's it. >Running DNS Expert over the domain (ldml.com) I'm getting a lame >delegation together with a comment that the PTR records haven't been set >up.

The lame delegation message is coming up because the secondary (ns.gjint.co.uk) isn't set up properly. The PTR record errors are caused by the fact that delegation for these addresses ends at the class B subnet. Your servers are not authoritative for the reverse zone. >So, all this wasted bandwidth is simply to ask that setting up >secondary's is as easy as the three quick steps above. > >Ooo, no, additional quick question.

If you can install MacsBug and reproduce the problem, then create a standard log output, please forward it to our support address (support@menandmice.com). We'll take a look and try to determine if it's caused by QuickDNS Pro. However, please do not downgrade to 2.2 just to reproduce the problem. I don't recall exactly what was fixed, but I know there was at least one crashing bug resolved with the update. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com http://www.menandmice.com
