Ok heres my problem.  Every time I restart bind "ndc restart"  I can do a
reverse lookup 2 times and then I get server Failed.

Any ideas?  I've seen this error message on the list but I haven't seen a
resolution.  All I have heard is that it is a problem with nslookup.


[root at ns1 mcoburn]# nslookup 209.117.250.131
