Mark,

Thanks for the response.  I've also tried on Cache only server following =
all the steps on DNS-HOW-TO but it still no help when try to resolve =
cnn.com or cnnfn.com.  The result getting is no response from server.

Tx,Eddie

	If this is your named.ca, something is very wrong.  All the
	NS lines should start with ".".

	However what I am seeing could also be the result of a
	broken SMTP implementation mangling the email message.
	The sending side should prefix *all* lines starting with
	"." with an additional ".", this is then stripped off by
	the receiving SMTP server.  This allows the end of DATA to
	be detected correctly and the escape processing to only
	need to look at the first character of each line.

	rly-mx1.maxis.net.my and rly-mx2.maxis.net.my are missing.
