	I moved what I have in my 110.103.216.IN-ADDR.ARPA into
240.110.103.216.IN-ADDR.ARPA but now named says
"242.110.103.216.IN-ADDR.ARPA is outside zone (ignored)" and reverse
lookups no longer work within my network.

	So if I understand this correctly, I become a slave to
206.13.28.11 and 206.13.29.11 for the file 216.103.110.rev.
	Now the new file 216.103.110.rev what should go into there?

	As I said previously named now reports
"242.110.103.216.IN-ADDR.ARPA is outside zone (ignored)" and no
reverse works inside or out.
	I still get AXFR refused from ns1.pbi.net.

	What about this entry in my named.conf.

	zone "pbi.net"{
	     type slave;
	     ....
	     ....

        That tells named that pbi.net is my secondary.  Do I still
need this?

Thanks,
Michael
