I got the DNS HowTo and am going thru just like it says. I'm just trying to
get the nslookup to find itself(127.0.0.1) which is the computer I'm going
to setup the DNS on. Anyways, first thing I've done is gone into the
named.conf file and have 1 entry

options    {
      directory    "var/named";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
    file"named.local
};

then it tells me to go into the /var/named/named.local file

@                IN         SOA            ns1.steveandjane.net.
hostmaster.steveandjane.net
                        2000092602    ;    Serial
                        8H                    ; Refresh
                        2H                    ; Retry
                        1W                   ; Expire
                        1D)                   ; Minimum TTL

                                NS    ns1.steveandjane.net
1                              PTR    localhost

After that I goto /usr/sbin/ndc restart
it then displays

new pid is 704

the documentation then states to try a nslookup and when I type the command
in I get

can't find server name for address 209.78.161.140(the ns1.steveandjane.net
server). Server failed
and it then pops back two my secondary server on the same domain.

Why is it failing? It seems to restart OK. Please help. This is really being
a thorn in my side. Thanks!
