BIND / named issues
 

this is ticking me off. can any one see why this isn't working???

this is the error:

/etc/rc.d > nslookup ns.danncasey.net localhost
Note: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
