[NTLUG:Discuss] DNS Server Error -- Server Not Found

[dennis]

Back to the Linux training.  Have installed DNS on Fedora 12, and after 
what I believe to have fixed the various errors, when running host or 
dig, get error message of Server no found.

Made the entries for the /etc/named.conf file by creating entries to 
point to the forward zone file, reverse zone file and reverse local 
file.  Learned that since my last setting up the dns that they have 
added the include for the named.rfc... file that includes the local 
forward file.  The files were installed in the 
/var/named/chroot/var/named directory.  Learned that I had to manually 
create links from the /var/named directory to the real files, OK.

Since we have only one server, all of the server functions point to the 
same IP address, such as:
$TTS 86400
@    IN    SOA   ... (....)
                     IN    NS    namesvr.ittclass40.org.
namesvr      IN    A      10.44.108.40

The /etc/resolv.conf file was modified to comment out all other entries 
and the server address (10.44.108.40) was entered in for the nameserver 
address.

The machine I am on is the 10.44.108.40, so doing a dns server search on 
the same machine.

When I did the service restart, got back the start OK.  Then did a dig 
on the specified domain name and got back the Server not found message.

Would appreciate some insight as to what / where I should look for.
