Errcode: 2

[Gary Wardell]

Hi,

I understand the issue with being on the same network but since Gary.com is only used internally for development I am willing to
take the risk.  Mostly I'm looking at it now to track down a problem doing transfers to an off site slave.

I should have mentioned that I am running 8.2.3-REL-NT3 Sat Mar 10 00:05:59 2001, sorry.

Both servers are running the same version of named.

What should I do or should I just ignore the error?

Unfortunately I am running a ported binary and have never delved into the named source.

Gary
