These 2 are 4.6.1 bind 9.3 whatever. Yes, you may have to do so. For the benefit of the audience, the default zone transfer format sent by BIND 9 is incompatible with QuickDNS Server (classic Mac OS) and many other older DNS servers; BIND 9 supports the older format as well, if you specify it. You can do so either globally or just for each affected slave server. Globally: Put the following inside the options block in conf/options: transfer-format one-answer; Per-server: Put the following block in conf/user_after, replacing "ip_addr" with the slave's IP address: server ip_addr { transfer-format one-answer; }; Chris Buxton Men & Mice - Making DNS Easy Customer Service and Sales Engineer >On 21-Sep-04, at 8:23 PM, rforest wrote: > >>ha ... my timing is great lately... :-( >> >>I just copied all the zone files and removed the whole works.
