Help properly configuring DNS (Bind9)


My DNS currently works, meaning that i have the ip address pointing to my boc, but I cannont get the mx to work (i am using gmail as my mail server), and getting errors like:

Getting MX record for mysite.com (from local DNS server, may be cached)... There is no MX record for mysite.com! That's bad.
Checking for an A record... Got it!

also syslogd produces this error:

Jun 10 06:41:28 horus named[12967]: sysquery: nlookup error on ?
Jun 10 06:41:59 horus last message repeated 2 times
Jun 10 06:43:00 horus last message repeated 4 times
Jun 10 06:44:00 horus last message repeated 4 times
Jun 10 06:45:01 horus last message repeated 4 times
Jun 10 06:46:02 horus last message repeated 4 times

Aslo I realized that when I try to restart bind i get no message:
williamp0044@horus:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart
williamp0044@horus:~$


I originally setup bind by following this guide:
http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_bind_chroot_debian


named.conf

mysite.hosts

double check your file names.

zone "mysite.com" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/mysite.com.hosts";
};

and the file name that has the detail of your zone is : mysite.host (it seems, from the mysite.host.txt lfle you upped to ur hosting site)

and this is the beginning of my zone file :

$ORIGIN .
$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
evilhq.com IN SOA linux.evilhq.com. root.linux.evilhq.com. (
2005111938 ; serial
28800 ; refresh (8 hours)
14400 ; retry (4 hours)
3600000 ; expire (5 weeks 6 days 16 hours)
86400 ; minimum (1 day)
)
NS linux.evilhq.com.
A 192.168.1.1
$ORIGIN evilhq.com.
$TTL 43200 ; 12 hours
<then i have my machines <-> Ip details>

a few things differs.. hope my details help you a bit
