DNS ERROR resolving MX for... [in Zimbra setup]

Hi all,

Yet for many hours I'm struggling with configuring DNS for Zimbra. At the end of the setup I get the following prompt:

Code:

DNS ERROR resolving MX for immserv2.impactweb.XXX.be

It is suggested that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS

Change domain name? [Yes] yes

Create Domain: [immserv2.impactweb.XXX.be] zimbra.impactweb.XXX.be





DNS ERROR resolving MX for zimbra.impactweb.XXX.be

It is suggested that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS

Re-Enter domain name? [Yes]

But everything I enter is 'rejected'. Seems there is no MX record for the zone I want to use, zimbra.impactweb.XXX.be

Everytime I try to dig, I get the SERVFAIL error, I also had the NOERROR error...

Code:

immserv2:/var/log# dig zimbra.eval.impactweb.XXX.be mx



; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1.1 <<>> zimbra.eval.impactweb.XXX.be mx

;; global options:  printcmd

;; Got answer:

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 51338

;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

This is the file I use called db.eval.impactweb.XXX.be, I know, at first it should be db.impactweb.XXX.be, right.

Code:

$TTL 3D

@      IN      SOA    ns.eval.impactweb.XXX.be. chantra.eval.impactweb.XXX.be. (

                        2009033001

                NS      ns                ; Inet Address of name server

                MX      10 immserv2      ; Primary Mail Exchanger

;

ns              A      192.168.1.92

immserv2        A      192.168.1.97

I -tried- with following this tutorial http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Split_dns because I want the DNS (BIND9) running on the same container. I'm using OpenVZ and Zimbra is installed on a container (VE).

Thanks in advance, I really hope to get this Zimbra thing running asap.

I'll post the error message from var/log/daemon.log
