We'd need to see your configuration files to tell (the three you've just mentioned). Did you restart your name server after making any changes? And are you increasing the serial numbers each time you update a zone file? (You only need to update the one you're changing, both zone files can have different serial numbers.) Did you change your resolv.conf file before or after you were connected to the internet? Your connection scripts can re-write it. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
