If he is using ADS with client machines that need to find the ADS server via DNS, then he needs to include \..mumble..\netlogon.dns (IIRC) into the DNS. I doubt dnsmasq will handle that. In BIND you can just cut and paste the files contents into the relevant domain file (better use a "$include" so you can delete it easily later, or at least put some comments around each chunk). You need to do this every time you add/remove ADS servers, or recreate any such servers. Scary, a home network with ADS. I had one of those once, but I needed a Kriegspiel program and the only one available was written for Unix like operating systems, so I installed Slackware on the box, and haven't missed it. If you need ADS, then use Microsoft DNS, or BIND 9, anything else is just asking for grief and hassle. If you choose Microsoft DNS be very careful what you let it talk to. Simon, ex DNS guru ;) PS: Despite this my Ubuntu box has real problems with BIND9, where as the Debian Sarge boxes work fine, guess that'll teach me to use the first Linux CD to hand....
