When I get output from host, I then go on to do the interesting stuff such as starting NFS and sendmail. You can get host from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/nameserver/host.[1c]. What do I need to link this with to make it work? --karl Am I right in assuming that this will be less of a problem if I put my local reverse mappings closer to the top of /etc/named.boot? I had my local IN-ADDR.ARPA mappings below the seven domains (all parts of SLB.COM) that I'm a secondary for. Chris
