The solution is, after you reset to the serial on the master server, delete the slave zone on each slave server and then recreate it. Or, just leave it the way it is. The serial number doesn't have to be based on a date. QuickDNS will continue to increase it for each save - there should be no problems caused by this, other than that you won't be able to tell when you edited the zone just by looking at the serial number. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy
