I am unclear on the >actual difference between a primary and secondary DNS setup. That would not be optimal. A secondary, or slave, server is one that keeps itself up-to-date with regard to a primary, or master, server. (Note: "primary" and "secondary" are part of the older terminology; "master" and "slave" are the replacement terms.) >2) I see the 'add slave zone' option. What is that for? Thank you very much! That is there so you can manually add a slave zone to a server. If you want your classic Mac OS server to act as slave for all the zones on your Mac OS X server, you can use one of the AppleScripts we included called Add Slave Server. Just make sure you're connected to both servers before you run the script. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy
