When you choose to view >the log in QDNS Manager which one are you viewing? The log shown in QuickDNS Manager is the QuickDNS log. It's in the file "/var/named/quickdns.log" on the server. The system log is managed by the syslogd process, and Mac OS X comes configured to store it in "/var/log/system.log". You'll find log messages from several different types of services in this file; you can search through it for process names using 'grep', as in 'grep "named\[" /var/log/system.log | tail -n 25' (which will show you the last 25 log entries that have the string "named[" in them, which are highly likely to be related to the named process). Note that the system.log file is rolled automatically by the system, so you may not have 25 named-related messages in your system.log. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy
