Yet when I run nslookup without any parameters it goes to the default localhost (which is the same as the ns1 machine) fine. The above machine is registered with internic and appears in /etc/hosts. Is this some sort of a namedb zone problem (yes, the machine is listed in the zone db file as well)? Thanks to everyone in advance!! btw, if it matters, i'm running bind v4.9.5-P1 -- - Roland --
