"testing.org" in my named.conf? When your resolver goes to look up "vhosta.testing.org." (or "anything.testing.org.", for that matter) there's no reason it would think to look in the dm0nkz.net zone. It asks the local resolver "get me the address for vhosta.testing.org." and the resolver goes "I'm not authoritative for testing.org ... who is? I'll ask the root servers for a hint." The root server says "go ask dns3.ee.net, who you can find at 206.222.1.2." Then your resolver asks dns3.ee.net "Hey, what's the address for vhosta.testing.org?" And dns3.ee.net says "There isn't one." If you want to override an address like this, just use /etc/hosts. You can put "google.com 192.168.0.1" in /etc/hosts if you want, and when looking up google.com you won't make any DNS queries at all (if your nsswitch.conf hasn't been mucked with, anyway) it'll just use the address it found in the file. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.debian.org/
