Search Again: Re: Wildcard errors (Was: Chris''s export script) From: Paul Willis Date: Thursday, April 25, 2002 Time: 5:04:45 am Chris Thanks for the explanation. What version of BIND comes with QDNS for OS X? Where can I actually see that? I assume I can't upgrade to BIND 9.2 as I think it uses a different file format than 8.x, true? Assuming I can't upgrade then is there a plan for BIND/QuickDNS on OS X to be upgraded? Paul >Let me succinctly restate the issue. Given the following records: > >*.cashorcar.co.uk.
