Ie in the dns for foo.edu. I should not realy do *.bar.fi ................. mail.relay.gate.net. However, given that I have done this, how do I persuade a seconadry server to load the records from my master. I have for the secondary secondary foo.edu 1.2.3.4 db.foo This causes the secondary to only load those resources seen to belong to foo.edu and *.bar.fi doesnt therefore it doesnt load them from 1.2.3.4. Has anybody got an answer to this? -- !---------------------------------------------------------------! ! Paul Moore, Bull HN UK, Maxted Rd,Hemel Hempstead, HP2 7DZ. ! !
