When writing the zone file on a slave, BIND uses $ORIGIN so that all records just have a single label. So instead of writing: foo.bar IN A 1.2.3.4 it will write: $ORIGIN bar foo IN A 1.2.3.4 If you have a zone with lots of levels of subdomain, the file will have lots of $ORIGIN statements as a result. -- Barry Margolin, bar...@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***
