Daniel O'Callaghan: The IP for hook.hepweb.com is 38.208.69.2. hook.hepweb.com is the box running named. Dan Busarow: The domain in question is hepweb.com, (which is now under the authority of psi.net until I figure out my problems). Their listing is www.hepweb.com. Named is running on a box called hook.hepweb.com. My ISP is going to be running the secondaries, (that's why they need access to the zone files), so I don't have those details, but here is a copy of my named.boot, ; ; Boot file for name server ; directory /mynameddirectory cache . cache primary hepweb.com db.hepweb primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa db.local primary 69.208.38.in-addr.arpa hepweb.rev Edwin: Thanks for the tools hint. I'll check them out immediately. Richard: Hey! I was WONDERING about the very subject you mentioned. My only question is, which one of the following entries is the one that returns a value for alpine.net? @ IN SOA oak.alpine.net. root.alpine.net. ( 9703051 ;serial number (date) 86400 ;secondary refresh 1800 ;retry 3600000 ;expire 604800 ) ;default ttl = 1 week IN NS oak.alpine.net. IN A 208.138.51.132 IN MX 10 oak.alpine.net. Particularly, the A record 208.138.51.132. Do we simply place the IP without a machine name as shown?
