Telling us which version of FreeBSD would be a good idea, since recent versions of FreeBSD do have bind8 as standard. I'm not sure what the definition of "recent" is though, you can check yourself if you like, but 3.1-stable has bind8. The real answer, of course, is to ask the people who have underscores in their hostnames to fix their broken DNS, since as you say, underscores are not allowed in hostnames. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
