I think you have something else messed up. That message should only come out when you have a CNAME record that points to another CNAME. Check that you put the trailing dot in.There are a few different messages: "%s has CNAME and other data (invalid)" (bind-8.1.2/src/bin/named/db_update.c) "dangling CNAME pointer" (bind-8.1.2/src/bin/named/ns_resp.c) -Phil
Ahh. I see. According to Chris Cappuccio this has been turned off in bind 8, and is apparently non-standard behavior. We are in fact running bind 4.9.3. Sorry for the confusion. But you can still have multiple A records, which does the failover part that the original poster wanted. --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean () av8 com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP/DCE http://www.av8.com We Make IT Fly!
