What other server could it be? As others pointed out, this is apparently a Linux extension to the loopback interface -- giving it a wider subnet mask automatically aliases the other addresses in the range. But this is done in a way that BIND can't take advantage of through the normal socket calls. -- Barry Margolin Arlington, MA _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
