<P>Tobias,<BR><BR>So you experienced the same thing? A failure when a
CNAME resolves to a host on another authoritative nameserver? Were you

<P>Yes, when it starts in the monitor mode it connects to the mysql
server. Also, I can resolve any of my A records, just not the CNAME
record which is formatted as I provided earlier.<BR><BR></P>
