I agree !! :|


>uhs.mcis       in      cname   uhs.bsd

By itself, this shouldn't cause any problem ...

*but*, mcis *is* delegated somehwere:

--------------------------
linux1# dig mcis.uchicago.edu. any

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> mcis.uchicago.edu. any
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

   ...
--------------------------

The

uhs.mcis       in      cname   uhs.bsd

should go into the mcis.uchicago.edu. zone as

uhs       in      cname   uhs.bsd.uchicago.edu.

i don't think that showing the entire zone file would be good.
# wc -l names
   26350 names
#

however, this might help:
# grep mcis names
matkon  in      cname   matkon.mcis
mcis-vispc3     in      a       128.135.80.156
mcis-vispc3     in      hinfo   COMPAQ/DESKPRO-EN400 WIN-95
ntadmin in      cname   radonc-uc-po.mcis
remedy  in      cname   remedy.mcis
sched1  in      cname   epic.mcis
;uhs.mcis       in      cname   uhs.bsd.uchicago.edu.

and in another file, we have this:
mcis   in      cname   smtp.mcis.uchicago.edu.

also, this may help:
# host mcis
There is an entry for this host, but it doesn't have a Mail Exchanger
record.
# host mcis.bsd
mcis.bsd.uchicago.edu is a nickname for smtp.mcis.uchicago.edu
smtp.mcis.uchicago.edu has address 165.68.31.75
smtp.mcis.uchicago.edu mail is handled (pri=0) by
smtp.mcis.uchicago.edu

sorry, but i don't know exactly what information might be
helpful...i'm very new to all this.

thanks much,
loren
