So at least I have an ugly workaround.. much less :ugly than restarted named every few hours though. Next, I'm going to :start comparing the sendmail.cf files built from my old 8.9.3 .mc file and :my current 8.11.x .mc file and see if any big differences jump out at :me... : :Mike Andrews * mandrews@dcr.net * mandrews@bit0.com * http://www.bit0.com Don't do that! If the broken hosts have at least one working name server, then you can use options in named.conf to make bind ignore the broken servers. The bind documentation has all the information you need to make this work. This is a whole lot safer then creating static entries in /etc/hosts. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
