BIND won't respond to queries
 
Hello,

I'm having some trouble getting my nameserver up and running. The domain I'm using is hadoukenlabs.com, and I registered the nameserver as ns1.hadoukenlabs.com. I followed a tutorial to install and configure bind, but I keep getting SERVFAIL.

I have been making a few changes here and there, but nothing seems to work. Port 53 is forwarded properly but I can't seem to even ping the nameserver from another computer. cmd > ping ns1.hadoukenlabs.com (from a separate windows machine) doesn't even resolve the nameserver ip, although DNS lookup tools find the IP just fine. Any ideas?

ns1.hadoukenlabs.com
LAN IP: 192.168.0.61
WAN IP: 64.251.150.213
OS: Debian 6.0.6

*Shameless bump*

Hasn't anyone on this forum used bind before?

You've forgotten a dot here:

Code:
hadoukenlabs.com.        IN      NS      ns1.hadoukenlabs.com.
If this still doesn't help, check your logs (e.g. /var/log/syslog).

Thanks!
 
Thanks so much for pointing me to the syslog file. I had to fix the dot, some permissions in /etc/bind/ and also use absolute paths to the .db and .rev files. Thank-you thank-you thank-you!
