 Cricket, are you implying that there were dynamic updates with the same  
IPs  sent to BIND, and that it merely displays with leading whitespace? 
 Wow. If thats the case, where should I look for the culprit? Doesn't the 
W2K DHCP server check for the existance of a record with the same IP 
before sending an insert?
