If you want to use a command-line tool, use dig instead. There was a lengthy thread on the Bind-Users list recently about this very bug in nslookup. If it can't find a PTR record for the address of the specified server, it refuses to use that server. Incidentally, the error message you got indicates that there is no PTR record, as far as nslookup on your Mac OS X machine is concerned, for the server address you entered. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
