DNS error message

[John Trumbell]

Hi,
I am setting up a test DNS server, to resolve a problem with some Proxy
software, that requires the use of reverse lookups. 

I have installed Bind 8.2.3 on a NT4 server (SP5). I have used the Zone
files from are actual DNS server and if I do a reverse lookup on the DNS
server I get the following reply.

***Can't find server name for address (server's Ip address): Server failed
***Default servers are not available
Server: Unknown
Address: (server's ip address)

*** Unknown can't find (server's name): server failed

The ISC BIND services starts, However in my Application log I see a message
stating "No root nameserver in class IN" source is named. The test DNS
server is listed as the SOA. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?
