I cannot address the zone files because of a lack of time at this moment, but your resolv.conf file is wrong.. first, you cannot have more than 3 nameservers... ever... next, kill the 127.... and the NS1 on the search line.. use as below > And my resolv.conf file looks as follows: > w> search 127.0.0.1 ns1.roskop.com cg.shawcable.net (this is totally wrong) search (domain name) in otherwords, your domainname so, it may be search roskop.com (if that is the name of your domain.) > nmeserver 127.0.0.1 delete this line entirely. > nameserver 24.81.XXX.33 > nameserver 24.71.XXX.144 > nameserver 24.71.XXX.145 Why these 3?
