Strange Resolution Problem

[Ruben I Safir]

Hello

I have a wierd resolution probel with bind.

I have a host, david.rm-cpa.com, which is resolving on the server running bind 9
as follows:

ruben at mail:~> dig david.rm-cpa.com

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> david.rm-cpa.com
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:

Other machines can not resolve the name, including the host itself:
david:~ # dig daivd.rm-cpa.com

I'm very confused about what's causing this problem.

The entry for this is:
zone "rm-cpa.com"{
        type master;
        file "rm-cpa.com.db";
        allow-transfer{
                192.168.0.110;
                216.112.229.114;
                64.105.122.138;
        };
};

david.rm-cpa.com.               IN      A       66.114.66.239
david-gw.rm-cpa.com.            IN      A       192.168.1.1
david-home.rm-cpa.com.          IN      A       192.168.1.100
