domain name to ipadress

[Michael Huntley]

Gee Ben,
Chill out.  Instead of angering a whole bunch of people and destroying
the purpose behind the list which, if I am correct, is to assist those
with questions regarding BIND, regardless of experience, perhaps it
would be better to be quiet and delete the email.  Your diatribe burnt
as much time as it would take to answer the question.

Axxessd - if you need any assistance please feel free to contact me.  I'll
be happy to give you pointers and direct you to good sources of
information regarding BIND.

If you don't know the answer to this question, you should not be allowed to
modify domain records in the first place.  This question is addresses in any
one of the most basic DNS tutorials you can find by going to your favorite
search engine and typing in DNS tutorial.  Try to research a little bit
before sending the question to a mailing list.
