That would work, but the zone data would not be in exactly the same form as it is on the current Linux server. For example, every record would have an explicit TTL, which renders the default TTL pointless. As an alternative, if you can get the zone files from the Linux server, you can import them into QuickDNS, using the Import menu item in the File menu in QuickDNS Manager. >Is this correct, and if so, What do I have to do to set up qdns as a >secondary(slave) server? For each zone, do the following: - Select the server in the Manager window. - From the Server menu, select Add Slave Zone. - Enter the zone name and the master server's IP address. - Click on the Add button. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy
