I _think_ 195 is a class c, so you'd want to add ipnet=big-net ip=195.182.167.0 ipmask=255.255.255.0 ipsubmask=255.255.255.240 which directs it to walk down to the 255.255.255.240 subnetwork. If it's a class b you'd need ip=192.182.0.0 ipmask=255.255.0.0 instead. That might be enough to get you working. If not, I would try giving your dns server an arbitrary sys= name, and using that in the dns= line -- what you have might be okay, I don't remember what happens with dom= and lookups. Russ
