Running my own top level domain with BIND9
 
Hello, I am attempting to run my own TLD but named is telling me that it has no NS records, and won't resolve. I don't know much about BIND, and what I have is a crudely amalgamated configuration pieced together from several books and websites. The command 'host emory.athf' doesn't work (well, obviously).

named.conf:
Code:
zone "athf" IN {
  type master;
  file "athf";
  allow-transfer { 10.0.0.0/8; };
  allow-query { 10.0.0.0/8; };
};
/etc/namedb/athf:
Code:
$ORIGIN athf.
$TTL 86400

@ IN SOA emory.athf. root.emory.athf. (
2002090100 ;
10800 ;
3600 ;
604800 ;
60 ;
)

IN NS emory.

ns IN A 10.0.0.1
nic IN A 10.0.0.1

emory IN A 10.0.0.1
majorshake IN A 10.0.0.50
And here is the actual error from /var/log/messages:
Code:
Mar 26 00:48:50 Emory named[1302]: zone athf/IN: has no NS records

Well, this is wrong. You should either remove the trailing dot, or write the full hostname ending whith the dot.
Code:
IN NS emory
or
IN NS emory.athf.
That is because if the dot is not present, bind adds the domain at the end

Okay, I changed my file to this now:
Code:
$ORIGIN athf.
$TTL 86400

@ IN SOA emory.athf. root.emory.athf. (
2002090100 ;
10800 ;
3600 ;
604800 ;
60 ;
)

IN NS emory

ns IN A 10.0.0.1
nic IN A 10.0.0.1

emory IN A 10.0.0.1
majorshake IN A 10.0.0.50
Unfortunately, the same error comes up with either of your fixes.

You didn't change the serial? Everytime you make a change in a zone file you must increase the serial, so that named re-reads it. Note that the format of the seriai is usually YYYYMMDDNN (Year, Month, Day, revision Number), so you always know when you last changed it.

Either indent your NS record (continuation from previous record) or change it to:

@ IN NS emory
