Hi Ace,

I think I'm with you on the details on the first post. Oddly though,
I had create a "zone" for musoswire.co.uk (which pinged fine), but
hadn't created an A record for "www" (which is how I understand your
post, that I shouldn't need to?).

However, as soon as a I created the A record for "www", it worked
fine. So thanks :)

As for the second post, in reference to the nameservers, the only
reason I've created those is to make life easier when talking to
clients. I can say "get your registrar to change the nameservers
to..." - it really serves no purpose other than that, and as a
learning experience.

Thanks for the document links - I don't suppose you have a link to a
usage guide for NSLOOKUP?

Thanks,

Hosting your own DNS servers can be alot of overhead, but then again the
rewards are great. Hope you have a solid line with your ISP.

As for nslookup, try the following link for starters. If you have any
questions about queries, post back.

FYI, by default nslookup will use the first entry listed in a machine's
ipconfig. Sometimes you may not want to use that DNS server and want to use
another. For example, when I used nslookup to test your servers, I changed
the server focus to your DNS server. I performed that using the 'server'
command. The following, which was still sitting in a command prompt from
last night, is what I used to test your machine. Notice where I used the
'server' command. Also, the '>' is the interactive prompt. YOu can also use
it in batch mode with a single line command. I prefer interactive mode, as
seen below.

ns3.msft.net internet address = 213.199.161.77
ns4.msft.net internet address = 207.46.66.126
