Yes, well I clicked the little checkbox that said "Create reverse record" and that did create a record which was the opposite of the first one (fields were reversed). I tried 'dig' on the name and it worked but I never tried to look up the address and see if it got the name. > Here's the bad news, once that KDC fails to start, about the only way > to fix it is to reinstall OSX Server.

Well if I need to do that now would be the time. It seems particularly intransigent right now. But is there a better guide, something step by step which I could follow? The Apple documentation is light on the specifics, it just goes on and on about how many cool things it could do once you got it working. Thanks Frank
