ok - I have done this,
yet me server does not appear to be resolving look ups.
Could someone please run an external test.
I need to check against www.autosportimages.co.uk - this should point to
212.113.200.73
Thanks,
Matt.

Basically, change the zone statement on the slave from type slave to
type master. If there are other slaves (though it sounds like there
