Of course ns2 is ahead of ns1 in our case, but that is > intentional.. But you get the idea. Opensrs says this After adding the nameservers, they may not be listed in the order entered. The order of the nameservers is not relevant, however, you may alter the order in the section "Manage Name Servers" above. However, this makes me wonder how in the world do DNS servers out there know where my primary is, it is not like a MX where this is a preference. I have always thought my primary is ns1.hostwizard.com, but I can see nothing anywhere that would let another server know to look there first. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 http://www.newgeo.com Fax: 313.557.5052 scott@newgeo.com Novato, CA U.S.A.
