You will probably need the latest BIND code. Are you sure it doesn't work with those versions of BIND? The posting you quoted is included in the DNS FAQ from comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains, with a date of "Sun Nov 27 23:32:41 EST 1994". Surely our version of BIND in 2.1R (and probably 2.0.5) is newer than that. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
