Weird bind thing - works locally, but not from anywhere else.

[Steven Webb]

Hello.

I'm running debian linux (potato) with bind 8.2.3 and I'm having some
weird issues with my named.  I'm serving multiple domains and some of them
work and some of them don't.  I tried re-creating the new domain zone
files from one of the working zone files and it doesn't change the
behoviour at all.

What I'm seeing is that I can do a "host -a blah.com" on the dns server
and it resolves fine.  The zones are getting transferred fine and I can do
a "host -a blah.com" fine on the secondary machine as well, but asside
from those two machines, I can't get blah.com (not the actual name) to
resolve from anywhere else.  When I try it from an outside machine, I get:

blah.com does not exist, try again

Is there something wrong with sending the stuff to the root nameservers?
I tried getting a fresh copy of named.root, but that didn't change
anything either.

Again, some domains are working and some are not with the same types of
zone files.
