Hi Folks,

I posted something over here yesterday and haven't been able to get a reply, I suspect it has something to do with me trolling around in the newbie section.

And if not, I guess I'm SOL.

Basically I've been digging everywhere and have yet to solve my problem setting up a webserver(I realize this has been beaten to a pulp). I have been assigned a static ip and my nameservers, but for the life of me cannot get my domain name to resolve(ip will). I'm not seeing anything suspicious in the logs. DNS port is open.

I guess my main question is bind. Is this the culprit? Shouldn't the default settings of bind be enough to set my domain name? I'm not looking to set up zones or anything like that.

my resolv.conf and hosts files are set up properly, I'm just unable to communicate with my nameservers.

Again, any help or direction would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Naughty Naughty. You're not supposed to post same question more than once.

I've responded to your other post.

Note for future: Posts that go unanswered are "zero reply" and many of us look for "zero reply". However, by answering your own post it was no longer "zero reply" so would have had less visibility. Next time when adding information just edit the original post instead of replying to it - that way it will stay as a "zero reply" post.
