The 2 domains are jodyx.com( the MS admin) and lab.jodyx.com(Aliases are being used to protect the innocent). I went ahead and used that first Mr DNS link that you gave me and had the MS admin put in NS and A records for my name server. One of my machines had replicated over to the MS admin's DNS machine, which means I have about 15 machines left that need to go over. I also listed his DNS server as an NS record in my DNS box. My replication question, to be more precise than I was, deals with whether or not I can force BIND 8.x to push a copy of a zone to another DNS server, specifically a Windows 2000 server. I do have a friend with a copy of the O'Reilly book, but I did not see anything in there about forcing the replication. Of course, I may not have looked hard enough, either so I may look again just to be sure. Due to the fact that I entered the UNIX/LINUX world on May 20 of this year (ie I am a rookie!!), I am grateful for the help.
