Hi all,

I am giving up, I'm trying to set up my DNS to work but I get all sorts
of strange error messages. Just as an example here is my named.hosts and
the error messages. Does anybody have any ideas - I am starting to get
rather desperate ;-)

named.hosts:
---------------------------------------------------------------
;etc/named.hosts
@	IN SOA	nsv6.ipv6.siemens.co.uk (
	19971027 	; serial
	12H		; refresh twice a day
	15M		; retry after 15 minutes
	1W		; expire after 42 days
	1D		; minimum is 1 day
	)
	IN NS	nsv6.ipv6.siemens.co.uk.
	IN MX 	5 mail.ipv6.siemens.co.uk.
;
manpc900v6 	IN AAAA 3ffe:1f00:0002:0001:0040:1cFF:FE60:D829	
		IN HINFO "Linux IPv6 test" "V2.1.59"
win95v6 	IN AAAA 3ffe:1f00:0002:0001::e81a:112	
---------------------------------------------------------------
