The script in question apparently uses the 'dig' utility (judging from the name of the script 8^] ) on a Unix box to query whatever domain you're looking at. The 'type=AXFR' part of the URL indicates that it is simply getting a zone transfer from an appropriate name server in order to see all the records associated with the domain. > It is possible to disable the 'Dig it' feature on my Quick DNS server?

Check the 'Restrict zone transfers to:' option so that it is _on_. 'Add' the IP address(es) of whatever servers do secondary name server for you into the list below the checkbox. Now only those machines can see your entire zone(s) by doing zone transfers (your secondaries have to be able to do zone transfers in order to act as secondaries). Christopher Bort
