<DIV>The other odd thing is that I can do an ns lookup on the bravehost domain
which is in the same database with out any problem.</FONT><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Same results from remote name server lookup
clients. This is on a RedHat 7.3 box with a mysql backend and using powerdns
2.9.8 static rpm.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. </DIV>
