I suspect that a program running in a jail can't follow symlinks to outside of it.

You may want the following packages: bind-9.3.2-20.FC5 bind-chroot-9.3.2-20.FC5 <====== n.b.! bind-config-9.3.2-20.FC5 bind-libs-9.3.2-20.FC5 bind-utils-9.3.2-20.FC5 I highly recommend Liu & Albitz, DNS & Bind, 5th ed, O'Reilly, May, 2006. It is more than worth it in time and frustration saved. It also happens to cover bind 9.3. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
