We have been having some trouble with the OS crashing (go figure!) and need to rebuild the box. I again suggested using a FreeBSD box to do our DNS and WWW. What would be the best way to ensure our DNS settings are transfered correctly? Should we go ahead and install BSD with BIND and run it as a secondary DNS. Then, promote it to be the primary DNS once a zone transfer has taken place? I'm not that familiar with BIND. I've been working with FreeBSD for a few months now. I've also tried to build a FreeBSD/Bind and a NT2000 box for DNS services, but have never been successful to get the DNS services running. Also, at the latter part of this month, we are moving our current T-1's from UUNet to SWB. How difficult will it be to reconfigure BIND? --Todd _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
