Hi I have a very wierd problem, which I am sure someone will tell me is obvious, but to me it is not. I set up a simple DNS on my system and it works just fine except it cannot resolve it's own domain name! If I use nslookup it tells me it is using the default server (which is my server) and gives it's correct IP. But when I try to lookup the domain, it complains: Server failed In my estimation, nslookup is using the reverse lookup to find the name of the server upon startup, so i guess the reverse lookup is working ok, then since the nslookup is failing to find my domain when I ask it to, suggests my named.conf or my zone file is wrong. That sounds right to me but the problem is I have another zone that is working. So I copy the zone 2 in named.conf to zone1 and change the name of the domain and the filename, then I copied my zone file from zone 2 to zone 1 and then edited it to make it handle zone1. Domain/Zone 2 works but Domain.Zone1 does not! aaah!! Anyone got any ideas? After I had this problem I copied this stuff verbatim from "DNS and Bind 3rd Edition, OReilly" from scratch.. and guess what.. the same problem! Gees!
