The misconception here is that the zone transfer restriction is set in the zone file. Instead, it's a server option. It affects all zones on the server, but only insofar as they are served by that server; it doesn't affect those zones as served by other servers. In other words, take these steps on *each* server: o Open QuickDNS Pro Admin. o Open the Server Preferences dialog. o Make desired changes. o Close the dialog by clicking OK. o Quit QuickDNS Pro Server. o Launch QuickDNS Pro Server. None of this alters the zone files. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
