Ok I've finally given up on trying to get bind working.
There is no reason that I can see for the domain to not be resolving at
this point, so rather than waste more time attempting to get my own dns
server working, I've decided to use EveryDNS,
It's a great service, it's free and it just seemed to work inuitively
without dealing with the crap I was getting trying to admin my own bind
server from within webmin.
Anyways, just wanted to drop a line and say thank for the tip.
BTW I donated $15, well worth the lack of headaches if you ask me.
Thanx again everyone!
I use EveryDNS as well,.. but in my case I host a primary BIND9 daemon
that acts as the master for the EveryDNS servers. Then once an hour
EveryDNS will check the serial on my records and zone transfer as
needed. This keeps all the real-life queries off my daemon and still
allows me controls for things like PTR and AAAA (ipv6) records that are
not available from the web interface of EveryDNS.
I'm a huge fan of djbdns, but I've been falling back in love with BIND9
when combined with hosting from EveryDNS. I still use dnscache on all
my boxes (except the one running BIND9) and I couldnt be happier.
