I tried setting my w2k workstation up to point to a new bind server and
discovered it could not be found. Where I work is currently using two bind
9.2.1 servers (master, secondary) and I'm working on a test environment using a
third, independent bind 9.2.1 server. I tried using dig from a linux console
prompt and got the following output:
# dig @140.198.8.135 140.198.4.158
; <<>> DiG 9.2.0 <<>> @140.198.8.135 140.198.4.158

The current DNS admin here found the authority section of the output interesting
since it seems to be trying to use 'nstld.verisign-grs.com' as the name server.
I've checked to see if bind is running on my server, it is with five instances
and all my zone files are being noticed in /var/log/messages with notes like
"serial loaded <serial number>" so it looks to be starting fine.
Anyone got any ideas on why my computers can't seem to reach my DNS server?
Oh, for reference, I'm using Linux 7.2, Bind 9.2.1 (RedHat RPM binary)
