So with 4.9.6 you should (have to ?) recompile all programs using the resolver after installing the update. With 8.1.1 you will need to change your configuration to use named.conf instead of named.boot and convert named.boot to named.conf using the supplied utility bin/named/named-bootconf.pl Dan -- Dan Busarow 714 443 4172 DPC Systems / Beach.Net dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82
