BIND / NT problem

[Anthony Cross]

Thanks.

I have remarked out the secondary zone entries and this has eliminated most
of the errors.

No real reason for www.software.com BIND over any other. I don't recall
looking at 8.2.2p5 NT, so I will take a look.

Thank-you again for you assistance.

Your named.boot file says that you are the secondary for those two zones
your getting errors on.

You either need to check the log file on the master to see why the transfer
is being refused or remove the entries from the named.boot so your not the
secondary for those zones.

Also, why not use the 8.2.2p5 NT port of BIND?  It's also free.
(http://bind8nt.meiway.com/)  It's the version that I use.
