DNS subdomain problem

[Kevin Darcy]

I don't know what you mean by "the root DNS servers of my domain". Your domain
is not the root zone, presumably. What's important here is whether your
nameserver can get root zone information.

You implied that you had a hints file. Whatever servers are listed in your
hints file should be authoritative (master or slave) for the *root* zone (i.e.
the zone "."). Are they?
