Is the plus sign important for the trace bit? dig is a tool for DNS problem diagnosis. The plus sign is just the symbol used for options passed to "dig". "dig +trace" does the look-up in full, rather than sending a query to the local name server, or sending a specific query to a specified name server, the "+trace" does the whole look-up from the root servers downwards. It is very useful for finding where a problem is occurring in delegation. If you have a specific DNS problem, ask on the list, as if no one else answers, eventually I'll get to it. Simon
