have DNS show two IP's for one server

[Mike Ciccone]

One thing I just noticed... If I use a name from the zone file such as 
mytwinbaby.com that works correctly.  I get both address:
DNS server handling your query: 205.171.2.65
 DNS server's address:           205.171.2.65#53
 
 Non-authoritative answer:
 Name:           mytwinbaby.com
 Address: 64.78.154.27
 Name:           mytwinbaby.com
 Address: 64.78.154.28


mytwinbabcy.com is only in the zone file from /etc/named.conf 
www.mytwinn.com is an acutal db file:  db.mytwinn.   I do see mytwinn.com 
in the zone file too.

Thanks

I indeed see one IP address:

% dig A abc123.com.

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> A abc123.com.

Can you post the actual results you got, both internally and on the
remote machine? Because your description does not seem to be complete.
