Is there anyone out there familiar enough with the DOMAIN-A/B/C
package to give me a hand?

I need to set up a 'root level' name server for a medium sized network
of machines that are NOT connected to the Internet.  I am trying to
get it working with three machines that I have addressed as follows:

  trm.caro	250.1.1.1
  ssidev.caro	250.1.1.2 (DOMAIN Name Server installed on this node)
  ssitst.caro	250.1.1.3

The software comes up and a NETSTAT command shows that UDP port as
active, but a HOSTNM or a DOMAIN/LOOKUP command fails every time.

The LOOKUP counters show one query and no responses.

Any help will be appreciated... I am a relative newcomer to this...
