Hi Bill and all, I just briefly shut down my primary DNS again, and tried bill's suggestion: "dig @63.224.68.1 romualt.dhs.org. -t SOA", and got exactly what I expected. I varified that my primary named was actually down by looking at my logs right after shutting it down, and by telneting to 127.0.0.1 53, and getting conection refused. So, I guess it sounds like my zone transfers are fine after all. Is this asumption correct? Greg
