Which is what I'm puzzled about. >Is ns.gjint.co.uk running QuickDNS Pro? If so, there should be a line in >the Secondary Data window that looks like this: > ldml.com. ldml.com. 62.6.164.2 ns.gjint.co.uk is running QuickDNS Pro - we have two copies of QDNS running at two different locations. The Secondary Data Window looked _exactly_ like this but the Secondarying wasn't working so, thinking that maybe QDNS didn't like '.com' file names I changed this to be: ldml.com ldml_com 62.6.164.2 <CUT> >PTR records are not the problem here. Didn't think they would be but that's the only possible problem I could see. My next move is to tweak the Secondary Data back to ldml.com. ldml.com. 62.6.164.2 (seems a far more sensible naming strategy) and to restart the server. Puzzled. Everything seems OK and we've not had any great issue with QDNS for the 18 months we've been using it. To date any problem with QDNS has been sitting in front of the screen! Oh well - I'll keep on battling.
