Remove all files from the Secondar Data folder (where it caches zone files for secondary service), then start up the server. It should log its attempts to load the zone from the primary. Once this is done, send me the log file. I can try to figure out why it's failing. Afterwards, you can set the logging level back to Normal, since having the logging level set to debug can cause some excessive and performance-eating file accesses. Make sure to quit and restart the server when changing the preferences. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com http://www.menandmice.com
