Greetings all,
On my network, we used to have some NT box acting as the mail exchanger and a faulty dns for our domain. That box has nearly crumbled. It's still active, but no longer accepting mail. I set up a computer (called galley) with 5.4 and it is (supposedly) running authoritative dns for our domain, and is handling mail via postfix. Since I changed the dns, I alerted our registrar, which was originally doing lookups for us. The problem is, now local citizens are trying to send mail to us, but they are getting bounce messages reporting that it couldn't talk to otto, the old NT box.



Here is my /etc/namedb/named.conf :

// $FreeBSD: src/etc/namedb/named.conf,v 1.15.2.3 2005/03/23 17:35:58 dougb Exp 
$
//

options {
        directory       "/etc/namedb";
        allow-query { any; };
        recursive-clients 15000;
        pid-file "/var/run/named/pid";
        forwarders {
                209.42.72.2;
        };
};

zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.root";
};

zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
        type master;
        file "localhost.rev";
};

/*
zone "domain.com" {
        type slave;
        file "s/domain.com/bak";
        masters {
                192.169.1.1;
        };
};

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type slave;
        file "s/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.bak";
        masters {
                192.168.1.1;
        };
};
*/

zone "usd217.org" {
        type master;
        file "db.usd217.org";
};

zone "72.42.209.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "usd217-reverse";
};

key "rndc-key" {
        algorithm hmac-md5;
        secret "VR7Bsxrqrrtf38pGNzog1A==";
};

controls {
        inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
        allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};


And here is my /etc/namedb/<localzone>:
; Definition of zone usd217.org

                        100d    ; expire

; nickname
www             IN CNAME        galley
ftp             IN CNAME        galley



There may be more at stake here: If this doesn't work well, then any credibility that I have with my employer concerning using open-source may be exhausted. Any other conf's I should show?

Thanks
