	If the zone is currently in service, tell us what the name is and 
the IP address(es) of the server(s), and we can throw standard DNS 
debugging tools at it like "doc" and "dnswalk".  If not, you'll need 
to use the named-checkzone and named-checkconf programs that ship 
with BIND 9.

	Oh, and if you're going to be using BIND 9, you should update to 
at least BIND 9.1.2-REL, if not the latest release candidate for 
9.1.3.

	Get fourth edition of _DNS and BIND_ by Paul Albitz and Cricket 
Liu, published by O'Reilly & Assoc.  Do not settle for third edition, 
which may still be on the shelves.

	Best thing to do here is searches of the archives of this mailing 
list, as well as related Linux newsgroups & mailing lists.  You'll 
learn the most from the broadest variety of people that way.



	Oh, and please don't use "NOSPAM" garbage in your return address. 
The newsgroup you posted this message to is gatewayed to a mailing 
list, and having this garbage in your address is anti-social and 
makes it more difficult for people to reply to you with the kind of 
information you've requested.

	Moreover, all address scanning tools I know of are intelligent 
enough to remove all "NOSPAM" type tags I've ever seen, so it doesn't 
do any good anyway.
