I've got a /32 from @link networks (SDSL). I run a nameserver for my primary domain, divingdeals.com, on ns1.divingdeals.com (FBSD 3.4) and my main secondary is ns1.granitecanyon.com. I finally got @link to setup secondary and reverse records at their site for me. Here's the problem. I can resolve all of the local machines on my /32, but nothing resolves outside. Here's some stuff:

su-2.03# ndc status
named 8.2.2-P5 Fri Jun 30 22:06:53 CDT
jwenger/downloads/bind8/src/bin/named
number of zones allocated: 64
debug level: 0
xfers running: 0
xfers deferred: 0
soa queries in progress: 0
query logging is OFF
server is DONE priming
server IS NOT loading its configuration

What's up with the last line?

su-2.03# nslookup ftp.freebsd.org
Server:  ns1.divingdeals.com
Address:  216.163.27.18

*** ns1.divingdeals.com can't find ftp.freebsd.org: Non-existent host/domain

I know for a fact ftp.freebsd.org exists. :)

Here's a simple dig:

su-2.03# dig divingdeals.com

I've been doing DNS admin for years now, and I've read the O'Reilly books. Yet I'm stumped. I've scoured the BIND and FREEBSD mailing lists, nothing much. As a quickie work around, I'd like to add a second nameserver (ns2.nap.net) so Qmail can at least resolve names to send stuff, but I can't figure out how (yes, that servers ip is in my resolve.conf, so's my primary). Of course, I'd prefer to fix my damned DNS.


Cheers!
