Hum. Are you saying the "bad referral (AMAZON.com !< www.amazon.com)"
message should only happen if I'm doing an NS RR lookup? But the log
message was a result of a Netscape lookup request, which I'd assume would
be A RR lookups.
Anyway, I'm stil curious: what is the process that bind is going through
to generate the "bad referral (AMAZON.com !< www.amazon.com)" message?
Thanks very much for the help,
BTW -- I though I was at a page that had bind error messages explained, but
could nt' find it again. Anyone have that URL?
