Some of this apparently does matter. Why don't you start a (cache-only) nameserver on ponds, and see what lakes is asking for? Remember, SIGUSR1 to named increases its debugging level. I just did this. With an /etc/hosts.equiv with non-FQDNs, and an /etc/hosts with non-FQDNs, no requests come from the rlogin server machine. So do you have all the above name combinations in your /etc/hosts? Besides, i don't understand why you aren't using a local nameserver anyway. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
