No. First of all, with Bind 8, the old 'kill' commands are obsolete. There's now something called 'ndc', the name daemon controller. It can be used to (re)load individual zones. Secondly, QuickDNS Remote does this automatically when you save a zone - first, it writes out the zone file, after which it uses the ndc command channel to cause named to load in the new zone file. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
