Or would the best approach be to add an A record to > my zone? The best method is to make your name server a (private) secondary. Get the address of the responsible primary(s), and add it as the source in a secondary line in your named.boot: secondary mcast.net 128.9.0.32 192.48.153.1 mcast.backup secondary 224.in-addr.arpa 128.9.0.32 192.48.153.1 mcast.rev.backup As you can see in the example, don't forget to also mirror the reverse lookup zone. named will do the actual mirroring for you, and back it into the named files (by default, under /etc/namedb/). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
