use nslookup.

~/web$ nslookup 
> server localhost
Default server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
> www.example.com

See if it is returning locally for your domain. If it is then check to make sure it is listening on public IP. If that is good, then check firewall.

LOL @ Your name, I admire/appreciate good sense of humor anytime/place.
I also wonder where/how I can get the networking tools package? None of these commands like nslookup, traceroute ,dig etc work for this new Ubuntu 8.04 xen server I setup?


Thanks!

try

locate dig | grep bin

if you get no results then something went amiss with your installation of BIND.

if you do get a result, try using the full path to run dig , ie:
/usr/bin/dig ...
