Hello,
I would like to thank John Justin Hough <john@oncology.uthscsa.edu>,
for helping me resolve some of the DNS issues that I had.
For some reason, the DNS server was not letting the
secondary DNS servers from downloading tables.
Looking in /var/adm/messages, I found that some
of the host names had an "_" underscore in them.
(I did not assign those host names :-). I also
remember reading somewhere that newer versions
of BIND.
As soon as I cleaned up the hosts table and
replaced "_" (underscore) with "-" (dash),
named daemon let the secondary servers download
the tables as it should.
Once again, I would like to thank John for his help.
Thanks.
Sanjay
