In that case, you'd have to use the "forwarders" option. So, instead of you DNS sever making queries on its own the actual query will be sent to the IP you define...this would normally be the DNS server of your ISP. Frankly....I'd recommend you use the "forwarders" approach since this will allow you to take advantage of the cache your ISP has collected and should result is quicker DNS responses. -- I prefer the most unjust peace to the most righteous war. -- Cicero Even peace may be purchased at too high a price. -- Poor Richard Guess Who! http://tinyurl.com/mc4xe7
