Re: [webmin-l] Private DNS server

[<cam...@cn...>]

Jamie, 

Thanks, 

Thank goodness for plain text warning messages that actually say what the
problem is!!

I kinda figured that would be the answer but how do you "move" zones once they
are created, especially the default zones, to views, and eliminate them from the
non-view schema using Webmin? Or should I just edit the named.conf file to get
things in order and go from there?

Sorry to be a bother, and thank you for your precious time in all respects.
