Thanks Dave that does help. I actually have a good debian book on the
debian system which covers bind9 which I think is the debian (and
therefor Ubuntu,) default. It is a good overview but a bit murky at
times so I am looking for something a little more practical and
testable. Perhaps I am too picky.

Thanks again,
