hi, thanks for the replies. however, i didn't learn much. i'm more of a network newbie than i thought.
but what i can say is this: (repeating the problem) i get zillions of these msgs: Jan 10 12:36:24 ns2 named[3037]: client 10.4.1.6#59926: view internal: error sending response: host unreachable i CAN do an AXFR from 10.4.1.6 to ns2 that is, dig @10.4.1.6 arlut.utexas.edu AXFR does give me output. on 10.4.1.6, dig @146.6.211.1 arlut.utexas.edu AXFR ; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_5.3 <<>> @146.6.211.1 arlut.utexas.edu AXFR ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ; Transfer failed. now, when i attempt that AXFR, the error message is NOT like the symptom i have. so i conclude that my problem is not AXFR (or IXFR, similar experiment). so what is this msg talking about? Jan 10 12:36:24 ns2 named[3037]: client 10.4.1.6#59926: view internal: error sending response: host unreachable i'm starting to think it might be just an ordinary dns lookup. j. -- Jay Scott 512-835-3553 g...@arlut.utexas.edu Head of Sun Support, Sr. System Administrator Applied Research Labs, Computer Science Div.
