I am getting ready to take over my DNS primary so that I can add subdomains
as and when I wish (with my ISP playing Secondary Slaving off me.

when I was using the forwarders section then it worked fine,
Even though I have set the forwarders off now and enabled the hints section
Every now and then I cannot get anywhere on the network - i then issue an
ndc reload and about 10-20 seconds later it works

I do have the following line on my system though to try and stop outside
people using my DNS but allow internal to do so.

        allow-recursion { 127.0.0.1; 10.69.70.0/24; };

can anyone advise? I have got the latest root.hint file from the internic
site.

Mike.
