RE: No DNS records --- IT WORKS!!! WOOWHOO!!!

You won't beleive this.

I disabled one of the NICs and everything is working! I guess the NICs must
be on seperate subnets?

I need to read up on load balancing. I saw something on it somewhere as I
was searching.

Thanks to Micheal and all for the help,

Kelly

Hello!

2.2 version is ok -- it does not require to modify something,
it should be stable as is. I told you about 2.3 version --
it need some tweaks to avoid that error. And my suggestions
was about 2.3 (editing .spec etc). 2.2 should install out-of-the-box,
even from binary rpm.

You can safely overwrite installation, but if you downgrade (2.3 => 2.2),
rpm will complain that you already have never version.
So it is best to erase 2.3 first and install 2.2 after that.

P.S. Time zones are different at our locations... :)
