Unless I'm not following your setup entirely, you should just be able to add the external nameserver as a "forwarder" for the internal nameserver, e.g.: forwarders { ns.external.dom; } > In other words, I want to merge the internal and external adresses, so > both can be seen from the inside. If you truly need to merge the two sets of addresses, you'll need to look into things like delegation combined with master / slave arrangements. -- Jon Parise (jon@csh.rit.edu) .
