Actually, for technical reasons related to the remote administration of multiple servers, you can no longer change the name of a zone, and there's no more "Save As" dialog. So the old method of duplicating a zone doesn't work in 3.0. However, there's an assistant that makes it very easy - you just type in the name of the new zone, select the zone to use as a template, and tell it to execute. It creates the new zone and configures both master and slave servers. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
