It sure looks that way. Can you tell it that it's authoritative for galaxy.home. and that it should never ask its forwarders (or anyone else) about it? Also, I'm not sure I understand what those log lines mean, exactly. Is 192.168.42.103 the computer you're connecting from, or is that marvin's address? It looks to me like 192.168.42.103 is asking named for marvin's address, not that marvin is doing a lookup for itself. (Unless marvin == 192.168.42.103, of course.) A simpler (but not as elegant) solution would be to add an entry for marvin in your /etc/hosts . I assume all of your LAN machines are using marvin's named as their DNS, so adding the zone would give you the advantage of being able to address machines by their internal names. Please tell me if my assumptions are wrong, or if this doesn't work for you, or you need help configuring bind. good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume.shtml
