scrathin my head..(named is dying)

[DanO]

Where are th A records for the NameServers
    "                     IN  NS          dns1.nathan.net"
dns1 IN A "?????"
Also, your only showing 1 nameserver in the SOA, you need 2
Also, your not even showing a host file for dns1.nathan.net in the registry,
so given someone else is providing DNS for your zone, I would say Named is
probably working untill it talks to the root servers and sees dns1nathan.net
is NOT the authority for nathan.net
