Also resource listed at http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/ can be usefull. Your ISP will probably be happy to handle all your domains for you. Simply make a request of them should be enough. Your systems will only need to be "stub" resolvers with a properly configured /etc/resolv.conf. But if you want to do it yourself it is realy not as hard as some of the documentaton makes it sound. If you have any specific questions then I or others on the list might be able to help. chris -- Chris Fedde 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
