2nd Directory (Directory Assistance) - Not Showing

This seems simple so someone set me straight. I setup a 2nd directory based on pubnames.ntf, same as primary. Once done, I setup da.nsf and create the DA document. I accepted the defaults re: filters, chose Notes, enabled, * for server (even tried application link), etc. I made sure that the da.nsf is in the server document. I have used show xdir reload, restarted server, etc. It says da.nsf in use on the console and lists the primary (names.nsf) but not the secondary directory. What am I missing? Can the 2nd directory use the same domain (in DA document)? Are there any special ACL issues, etc. that I should set?

2nd Directory (Directory Assistance) - Not Showing (Solved)

I decided to add _DA on the end (saw in technote) and then issued "show xdir reload". Seems to be fine. Is anyone using the [DenyAccessRead] to restrict? You used to update the readers field in the Person form, correct? ...seems outdated. I'm hoping this role works. We need 2 groups to use for addressing purposes but not the remainder of the company. The DA setting is global, correct? So, what's the recommended method for restricting in address dialog? I tried just ACL but noticed that accessing the address dialog (e.g. using TO: in memo) presented a no access prompt to the user and forced exit. Needless to say, that won't work.
