| After looking in the slave=B4s named.run log file to confirm the zone has=

^^^^^^^^^^
What is the cc in this case. I must have missed that in the book. My
serial numbers are of the format yymmddxx only ;-)
And to get more into this mix, I found this in my logs:
26-Aug-2001 12:32:38.622 MAXQUERIES exceeded, possible data loop in
resolving (www.symantec.com)
What the heck is MAXQUERIES and why is it being exceeded?
Thank you gurus!!
