Your right. bad typing on my part.

Your right again. It actually says, "There is more than one A record with
the name 'www.knowledgeexpress.com'."

The web server I am using is a G4 450 w/ WebStar 4.2 on a T-1. You already
know the DNS Macs, and the client I am using to test is a PB G3 w/ 56k
running IE 5.0 (which might be some of the problem).

Assuming that for now I can't host DNS at multiple places, are there any
QDNS or WebStar specific tricks that can help speed up my part of the
resolving? Thanks for checking everything out and giving me some great
info...
