Right, this is the problem. It's not using your machine as the
nameserver, reason unknown.
Well, if you send me (off the list), the following files, I can
probably put you right.
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/host.conf
/etc/namedb/named.boot
/etc/namedb/????? the zone files named in named.boot, except
for the "cache" file.
There should be, of course, SOA and NS records in the zone files.
