Yes the dynamic update is successful, when I 'dig' the update is
correct. But it is taking much longer than 5 minutes.
Is there a way to speed up the notify? I already set the REFRESH value
in the SOA record to 10 seconds. It just takes the master dns
forever to update the file. I have to halt or stop the named to
get it to update the file.
Thanks for any help once again,
