DNS Problem, I think :)

[James W Greene Jr]

That DNS info is not what I have in my dns config at all...  looking at the
beggining of my 208.148.251.db:
$ORIGIN 148.208.in-addr.arpa.
$TTL 86400
251     IN      SOA     ns1.megalink.net.       hostmaster.megalink.net.
(
                        1999102001
                        3600
                        900
                        864000
                        86400   )

        IN      NS      ns1.megalink.net.
        IN      NS      ns2.megalink.net.
$ORIGIN 251.148.208.in-addr.arpa.

There is no oxford.megalink.net in there.. That is very old info...  Why
would they still have that ?
