I just tried your first dig command and it failed: pts/4 12:44 [5169] dig @localhost thought.org AXFR ~ ;; Connection to 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) for thought.org failed: connection refused. ;; Connection to 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) for thought.org failed: connection refused. ;; Connection to 127.0.1.1#53(127.0.1.1) for thought.org failed: connection refused. Maybe the site that Matthew recommend will give me soe pointers! gary > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Journey Toward the Dawn, E-Book: http://www.thought.org The 8.51a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org
