I finally surrendered, and now use dnsmasq instead of bind. But in my setup with named, my box was Start Of Authority, and when there was a change and reload of the zone files, the only other name server was notified, before the TTL is over. How can I do that with dnsmasq? If the dnsmasqHowto wiki is quite clear, but not very detailed, the manpage is too detailed, and not clear to me. Thanks for your help. Jacques
