someone please help me with lame nameserver
I am trying to set up my nameserver on my dedicated server to answer authoritatively for the domain valeit.com the registered name servers are ns.valeit.com (IP address 217.199.172.103 the address of my dedicated server) and ns.secondarynameserver.com (which I don't host). When I run a test on DNSreport it fails on IP address 217.199.172.103, which is the address of ns.valeit.com, saying that it is lame. I then tried to run the DNS lookup at dnsstuff (dotcom) this either succeeds or fails, depending on which nameserver answers first, if it's ns.secondarynameserver.com it's fine, but if it's ns.valeit.com it fails with an unexpected response.
Some other things I've tried from the server comand line:
[admin@valeit admin]$ nslookup -sil valeit.com 127.0.0.1
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
** server can't find valeit.com: REFUSED
[admin@valeit admin]$ nslookup -sil valeit.com ns.valeit.com
Server: ns.valeit.com
Address: 217.199.172.103#53
** server can't find valeit.com: REFUSED
[admin@valeit admin]$ nslookup -sil valeit.com ns.secondarynameserver.com
Server: ns.secondarynameserver.com
Address: 212.67.202.244#53
** server can't find valeit.com: SERVFAIL
My server is RH9 running BIND 9.2.1, I use webmin to administer it but I'm not an expert by any means.
I've attached a screenshot of my named.valeit.com config file if it helps.
I really don't understand why this isn't working, but I hope I've given enough information for someone to have a stab at what they think it is, I'd really appreciate some help.
Many thanks
Kevin
