Or from another server "dig @yourdnsserver domainname. Or from a windows server the command "nslookup", then in the nslookup query add your dns server as source like this: "server yourdnsserver" then your can check the domains by just typing them in. What exactly you want to check Gary? Best Regards, Balazs
