Our domain is cyberhighway.net. I'm trying to add upperhand.com as address 205.139.62.254. This is the line I added to domain.db: upperhand.com. IN A 205.139.62.254 When I do nslookup I get: Server: host-1.cyberhighway.net Address: 205.139.62.1 *** host-1.cyberhighway.net can't find upperhand.com: Server failed I also added the following line to reverse.db: 254 IN PTR upperhand.com. which allows me to do "nslookup 205.139.62.254" and have it return the proper data. Also, where is documentation on setting up the revers ARP? I can do an "nslookup 205.139.62.254" from our domain, but from another domain I get: Name Server: hpcsos.col.hp.com Address: 15.255.240.16 *** hpcsos.col.hp.com can't find 205.139.62.1: Non-existent domain Thanks for any help, Dan T.
