Search Again: Re: Zone Transfer / SOA Problem From: Men & Mice Support Date: Friday, December 7, 2001 Time: 6:26:09 am This thread has been mostly transferred to our support address. However, in brief: We don't support use of QuickDNS for Mac OS Classic on machines with more than one IP address, so we're not able to give a definitive answer. However, that said, there's probably something different about the few zones that aren't working. To make sure, you might try putting the slave server on a separate machine, in order to separate problems caused by having multiple IP addresses from other problems. If things continue to not work, then compare the configuration of these problem zones with the configuration of zones that work - check the zone options dialog. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 11:21 AM -0700 12/6/01, Dan Tappin wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: quickdns-talk@lists.menandmice.com > > [mailto:quickdns-talk@lists.menandmice.com]On Behalf Of Men & Mice > > Support > > Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 10:30 AM > > To: QuickDNS Talk > > Subject: RE: Zone Transfer / SOA Problem > > > > Your slave server isn't responding to DNS queries at all at the > > moment.
