Yes it absolutely does.

What you might do, depending on what you're trying to do, is create a
new NS RR for it in the master db file, and then slave the master.

You can also make your machine a manual master by doing an AXFR of the
zonefile from the AUTH server, then changing the SOA and NS Records in
that zonefile to indicate that your new server is actually the (or at
least one of) AUTH name server for that zone.

But really, most of the reasons you would do the second item (which it
sounds like you're trying to do), probably aren't part of why you're
doing this.

If you want the server to answer AUTH, then merely slave the master, coz
what you're doing is bordering on what is known as creating a 'hidden
master'. Which is what we do with servers for rootzones or TLD zones
where the real master isn't even accessible from the outside, and only
allows for zone AXFRs from the machines that are 'slaving' the hidden
master, and even though they're slaving it, it is their IPs that are in
the NS records as AUTH for the zone(s), making them AUTH, and masters,
even though they're slaving the zone from a hidden master.

We do this too in registries.

 I'm trying to
> build this new system without messing with the production system.

Just edit the db file for the zone in question on the master, adding
your new box as AUTH for the zone w/an  NS RR, then on the new box,
merely slave the master.

Don't forget to up your serial before HUP'ing the master when you load
the new zonefile.

if you are trying to set up a new forward facing master, and slave the
zone from a hidden master, then the SOA should be the machine that is
slaving the hidden master, and all other AUTH servers should simply
slave that machine's zonefile, with their glue included  in that file.

I got the errors to stop (period after the Origin, put there by a config 
generator), but it still doesn't answer for itself and looks to the 
roots and so on.

If I'm issuing the command as I stated below, it shouldn't matter that 
the public authoritative server is elsewhere, would it?  I'm trying to 
build this new system without messing with the production system.

Yup. I pointed that out on the other list too.

Could be as simple as not upping your serial too ;)

I like this format - works well with scripts

mmdd## - that should give you more than enough updates to your
zonefiles each day for an AUTH server.

And look for those missing periods, braces, semicolons, etc., like David
pointed out below. hosts for A RRs end w/periods too, and for the rp
don't forget that it's all dots - no "@" sign.

Try loading a dummy zone with just a couple of hosts w/simple A RRs and
build from there ;) Use that SOA for the top of your template.

Always up your serial whenever you HUP.

Just parse through it - I'm sure you'll find it. Also, if that's not it,
make sure your running RFC compliant FQDNs. IOW, no "_", which,
depending upon how you compiled BIND you may need to specifically allow
- - otherwise BIND will reject those. Microsoft likes to promote the use
of underscores in machine names - forcing the admin to give those boxes
different hostnames of provide support for those non RFC compliant
hostnames - many DNS servers out there on the Internet won't anyway -
none of mine will.

If there were errors in loading the zone, then it's not going to
answer queries for the zone. First, you'll need to read the error logs
and tea leaves, to see why your zone file isn't loading; once that's
taken care of, you can then worry about testing.

Try this:

// options section fragment of named.conf
// recursion no = limits caching
options {
 directory "/var/named";
 version "1.2.3.4";
 recursion no;
};
