Didn't you say there's another domain involved (by resolv.conf, IIRC)? David, why don't you simply start a caching-only nameserver, redirect your resolv.conf(s) to it, and look at its debug output? This will lead you *way quicker* to the solution about what names are being looked up than any of our guesswork here in the mailinglist. A caching-only nameserver is a matter of one minute: cd /etc/namedb sh make-localhost named -d 2 -b /etc/namedb/named.boot FreeBSD ships with a reasonable default named.boot for a caching-only server (which also has a bunch of comments for what to do to add a secondary). -- 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. ;-)
