but when i do a

Code:

nslookup mydomain.xyz myns.xyz

Code:

** server can't find server mydomain.xyz: SERVFAIL

any ideas?

Most likely the nameserver defined in /etc/resolv.conf works OK and myns.xyz does not.

i found the error myself:

i commented out an older entry with an "#" which seems not to be allowed in named.blabla-files.
