Yes, these NS records are coming from the load balance record. Please note that you should never create or modify a load balance record if you're connected to your servers using their IP addresses. In other words, if, in the Connect To Server dialog, you entered the server's IP address, then you'll have this problem. The solution is: - Disconnect from any server to which you connected using the IP address. - Reconnect to each such server using the server's name. - Make sure you're connected to all of your servers that will be involved in the load balancing. - Delete and recreate your load balance record. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
