It's the forward zone that should have an A record for the nameserver (NS) record. Your reverse zone (above) only needs records for the name (singular) to be used for each IP. The forward records list all host names, and say what IP they have. Your master file (forward records) should be something like this (below), based on what I can see of your reverse file, though put the right IP address for your name server for the ns1 hostname: $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA ns1.colo-perrys.com. hostmaster.colo-perrys.com. ( 2010121301 ; Serial 28800 ; Refresh 14400 ; Retry 3600000 ; Expire 86400 ) ; Minimum IN NS ns1.colo-perrys.com. IN A 100 colo IN A 100 dadsoffice IN A 2 Dave-PC IN A 4 Linksys-WAP54G IN A 20 mobile1 IN A 9 ns1 IN A 100 unclecarl IN A 10 And if you're going the whole hog of running a full LAN, with mail, you probably should put an MX record in there for your LAN mail server, too. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
