My plan is to get both running as Primary before changing DNS1 into a secondary. When I run make-localhost script on DNS2 it uses the IP address for DNS1. If I put the right ip in localhost.rev then named says "unable to locate hostname for XXX.XXX.XXX.2" the hostname command returns the correct name, the ip address is correct (I can telnet remotly) I have the grasshopper book, and have checked /etc/hosts file. I have it wrong somwhere but cant seem to find it. DNS1 is running 2.1.5 DNS2 is running 2.2.6 installed last week. Please bear with me if this is an easy one, I have been running Freebsd for about 9 months but DNS2 is my first configuration from the ground up, (someone else setup DNS1) Thanks in advance Gary Landers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
