Dave, you might need to update the 'root/servers/@' file. IIRC, a

We replace the @ file with one of our own on every server. I contains

Silly question, and veering off topic, but if you take away
the list of root servers, how do your nameservers find things?
If you want to find a node in a tree (or in a directed acyclic
graph) it helps to start at the root (or roots). If your
local DNS server doesn't have any way of finding the root,
how can it find the nodes it needs to find?
I suppose it's possible your organization's DNS servers and
caches are giving authoritative responses for the "." domain.
Is that what you're saying?

It depends on why you are using dnscache.
I am talking about running dnscache only for certain services "on the
box" such as SA URIDNSBL lookups, Webalizer lookup on Apache logs, RBL
checks at SMTP connect, etc.
I simply want to retain and reuse the results of querying my own DNS
servers without making a network connection outside my PIX (mailScanners
inside, DNS servers outside).
Do you have the list of root servers in your mail server's /etc/resolv.conf?

for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
