Your registrar should have done this for you. The reason that they did not is because 64.26.160.120 is already taken. Note the whois on MAG1.MAGMACOM.COM. So I think you're supposed to give a DNS server name of MAG1.MAGMACOM.COM and things should work. > I certainly admit that 'whois ns1.walma.org' fails, but I've never registered > the domain 'ns1.walma.org' only 'walma.org'. Well, you will note that the records for hosts and records for domains are completely different. Only the host records specify and IP address. -Bart -- WebSig: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/sig/
