So, if everything is CNAME'd over, can I just ignore this message or >is there something I am missing? These messages are appearing because you're using the WebSTAR QuickDNS Load Balancer plug-in, which reads the virtual hosts settings in WebSTAR and assumes that *all* hostnames are individually load balanced. If you were using the older Responder plug-in, which ships with QuickDNS Pro, you'd be able to tell it which single hostname you wanted load balanced (balance.dina.org). Then you wouldn't see all these error messages. However, aside from a little extra network traffic and these harmless error messages in the QuickDNS log, using the newer plug-in doesn't cause any problems. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
