Well, I double checked another customer environment and found that the defined db is identical on all switches.  So, I couldn't see how I actually could have a mismatch in the number of zones.  I went back to my problem customer and took fresh cfgshow's and guess what...no mismatch...I must have copied the effective to my spreadsheet for the old director...at least i didn't waste too much time.  thanks again Alllen.  gabe
