If I remember correctly, the format I used came from the book associated with FreeBSD 2.3 or perhaps earlier. Pretty much verbatim from the old days of the berkely format of the 80's<BR>

I'm no bind guru by any sort of means, and I know there were significant changes between bind 8 and bind 9. I was more curious why it was considered lame server whereas prior to CentOS, it worked well, and was not considered lame under BSD. Everything still works, but there are some warnings if you look at the report from <A HREF="http://dnsreport.com">http://dnsreport.com</A> plugging in my domain name. Part of that problem is upstream, which I can get corrected *I think* :-)<BR>
