Try 'dig -help' for a full rundown of the syntax. Use '@server' in the command to specify a server. If you want a nice GUI for dig for Mac OS X, download a copy of Robert Woodhead's ShellShell utility. It includes a nice macro that lays out the most useful dig options (IMO), and it's as close as I could get to DNS Expert's interface using Robert's simple macro language. I created it (and Robert cleaned it up) back before I resigned myself to auto-starting Classic at boot time. <http://www.madoverlord.com/projects/shellshell.t> ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
