Change the serial number of your dns entries. named checks for this and if there is a change (not in entries but the serial number) it runs to your other dns serverers (IN NS) and updates them. After every dns change you make, change your serial number otherwise that change will have no effect outside your domain. -Jacques ------------------------------------------------------ The box said "Requires Windows 3.1 or better" ... so I got BSD Network Administrator | Jacques Hugo UNIX Systems | jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za Cape Technikon | +27-21-4603584 ------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
