Bind9 - Problems Adding NS record

[Stafford, Paige L.]

Dear Bind-Users:
=20
I am having difficulty adding an NS records to my zone, ornl.gov.  BTW, =
these are delegation records for the AD domain controllers.
=20
I have tried nsupdate, and manual edits (freezing/unfreezing then =
stopping/starting), but am unable to get it to work.  It works fine on =
the external Bind8 servers (ns.ornl.gov), but not the BIND9 internal DNS =
(blocked at firewall), ns-int.  Yet, the data in them are exactly the =
same.

Example problem record:  domaindnszones.ornl.gov.  NS  dc1.ornl.gov. =20
=20
There are ns records that work on ns-int, such as
      _msdcs.ornl.gov  and  _tcp.ornl.gov which both point to =
dc1.ornl.gov. =20

on ns-int:
     running Bind-9.3.0rc3=20
     SunOS ns1 5.9 Generic_117171-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
