LC> yep, I can't find any NS's for union.edu that will respond authoritatively.

LC> o Non-authoritative data received from the server
LC>    "ns1-auth.sprintlink.net."
LC>      The server "ns1-auth.sprintlink.net." is listed as being
LC>      authoritative for the domain, but it does not contain
LC>      authoritative data for it.

LC> o Non-authoritative data received from the server
LC>    "ns2-auth.sprintlink.net."
LC>      The server "ns2-auth.sprintlink.net." is listed as being
LC>      authoritative for the domain, but it does not contain
LC>      authoritative data for it.

LC> o Non-authoritative data received from the server
LC>    "ns3-auth.sprintlink.net."
LC>      The server "ns3-auth.sprintlink.net." is listed as being
LC>      authoritative for the domain, but it does not contain

LC>      The server "eliphalet.union.edu." is listed as being

LC> o Unable to locate an authoritative name server for "union.edu."
LC>      It was not possible to locate an authoritative name server for
LC>      the domain "union.edu.".  No further testing of the zone will be
LC>      possible.

LC> You probably have zone file syntax errors in you master server so 
LC> none of the slaves will transfer the zones. so go find you the DNS 
LC> which is the master for the union.edu slave and get to work.
