Why didn't I spot that? (Answers on a postcard...)

Yes, I had my Entanet's DNS servers listed in the 'forwarders' section
of the Bind9 configuration, because I thought I had to have them there.
Without them, it still works, and there are no more error messages!
(I didn't get the error messages when I first set this up, so something
has changed somewhere.)

Obviously I need to do some more reading on DNS...

Thanks Vic.

cheers

Chris
