soa.granitecanyon.com setup problem

I think that what you have done is use the wrong address.... basically
the lines that you have done as :

coolnow.com.  IN  RP hotister at hotmail.com.
hotister.coolnow.com.    IN  TXT "T.T. Lee, NIC handle: TT309"

should actually have the same email address in the RP record as at the
start of the IN TXT record....

So if you make it :

coolnow.com.  IN  RP hotister at coolnow.com.
hotister.coolnow.com.    IN  TXT "T.T. Lee, NIC handle: TT309"

it will work... tell me how it goes...

Good Luck!
