Again, thanks a lot. I don't know if cobalt is running bind. I will find
out that this afternoon. I have a copy of the /etc/named.conf. Like you
said each domain has a entry in the server. Of course, I am doing
everything in the backup server, just in case I will screw up something.
The structure is pretty much like you said. zone "domain" { type master
file}. I am going ahead and read the cobalt documentation. I will try to
find the bind configuration files and assign the values of master and
slave so I can go ahead and modify all these files.
Anything will happen; I let you know.
Again thanks so much.
