i have two name servers on my network. forward requests work as well as
reverse lookup requests. i have been assigned part of a network class
from my service provider. however, when i register a new .co.za domain,
which is correctly setup on my systems, i get the following error
message back.
maybe this means something to someone out there that could explain to me
what is happening here ::
