Hi,
Okay, I figured out my problem. It was rather a silly one at that. I
have Debian Linux, and it uses a Debianized version of bind. Thus, it
looks for all files in /etc/bind/ instead of /etc/. Once I replaced the
named.conf file and malichi.net file in the /etc/bind directory,
everything worked properly. I can go to ftp.malichi.net, and any other
computer I set up.
Thanks for everyone's help, and if you have Debian Linux, don't be dumb
like I was!
