Multiple DNS forwarders and syntax question.

Hey Guy's,

Is there a limit on the number of forwards that can be used or the syntax and spaces?

I noticed I have to put spaces between ; and the IP for at least the first one, then space at the end to work and the rest don't work at all no matter what I try.

Code:

        forward first;
        forwarders {
                10.0.0.1 ; 
                10.0.0.2 ; 
                10.0.0.3 ; 
                10.0.0.4 ; 
                10.0.0.5 ; 
        };

Thanks,
DH

What you have should work. Spacing should not matter before the colon. Are you getting a syntax error? Does named-conf(1) run clean? Please provide more details on what does not work.
