Subject: ARGH! response to localhost, no response to remote hosts



I'm stumped ... can someone try doing an nslookup against
dev.newzletter.com? Sitting on the master DNS server I can nslookup and
it returns the right answer ... but from a remote location the lookup
times out with "no such host ...".

Yet I can look up www.newzletter.com just fine from either location.

@       IN      SOA     rockwell.canlink.com. hostmaster.canlink.com. (
                        2000083101      ; Serial
                        28800           ; Refresh
                        7200            ; Retry
                        604800          ; Expire
                        86400 )         ; Minumum TTL

                NS      rockwell.canlink.com.
