That isnt actuly an error, everything should still be running, its just letting you know you didnt specify a TTL. The confusion is the TTL in the SOA isnt really a TTL anymore, its a "Negitive TTL" and means something slightly different. I dont remember exactly what, but I am sure some site will tell you. So you now have to put a $TTL ##### statement as your first line if you want to specify a TTL. (Highly recomened- its never a good idea to just let the computer decide things like that) Jay On Saturday 23 February 2002 01:44 pm, you wrote: > You need a "zone" default TTL at the top of the file.
