Mark,
Thanks for the heads up.
I am now getting an error on a different machine. Can you make heads or
tails of this:

# grep named messages
Jul 19 02:25:27 bsd named[968]: starting.  named 4.9.4-P1 Tue May 20
09:23:44 Gd
Jul 19 02:25:42 bsd named[968]: There may be a name server already
running
Jul 19 02:25:42 bsd named[968]: exiting
Jul 19 02:28:36 ns2 named[75]: starting.  named 4.9.4-P1 Tue May 20
09:23:44 GMd
Jul 19 02:28:36 ns2 named[75]: localhost.rev: No such file or directory
Jul 19 02:28:36 ns2 named[76]: Ready to answer queries.
# nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 209.12.189.2: Server failed
*** Default servers are not available

Is this more an nslookup error or a nameserver error?
Thanks,
Rick
