weird...
I feel like i am in the twilight zone here, at 3am today this was not working, so i went to sleep. got up at 11 and suddenly the nslookup is, and the domain is accessible over the internet. maybe its got to do with propagation? but i dont see how since i was querying a domain on my own name server.
anyway i made a new zonefile for another domain, and added the entry in /etc/named.boot, and edited /etc/named.conf accordingly. restarted named, and it worked immediately when i queried the domain name???
i dont understand. at least it works but i would like to know what i did that made it work first time. do i need to put an entry for each zonefile in /etc/named.boot? what other files do i need to edit?
thanks for any help
