orig question at bottom.
thanx! to brian hostetter, gary bennett, john meaker, cory erickson,
paul crittenden, wesley darlington, dejan muhamedagic.
for some reason the zone file didn't like the way the domain was
addressed. after suggestions i modified the "IN A" address line.
tested again and it still choked. i added an entry for www in the
zone file and it worked. strange thing is i have a www entry in
my other zone file, so www entry needs to be in each specific zone
file? guess so. anyway thanx for all the suggestions. now i have to
figure out how to get preventionresearch.org to point to it's own
home page.
fyi- prevention.org and preventionresearch.org are not associated.
thanx again and happy holidays!
orig. question
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
i'm setting up a second domain through my server.
i have everything squared away with internic. i set up my name server by
including an entry in the named.boot file like this:
; load prevention domain
primary preventionresearch.org named.preres
i created the zone file named.preres and put dns things in it:
; BIND data file for preventionresearch.org.
;
_at_ IN SOA tigger.oslc.org. postmaster.tigger.oslc.org. (
3 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh
300 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
3600 ) ; Minimum
IN NS tigger.oslc.org.
IN NS gatekeeper.oslc.org.
preventionresearch.org IN MX 1 tigger.oslc.org
"hosts-17" IN A 198.68.4.10
; end
restarted the named service and syslog reports everything spiffy:

Dec 10 11:12:36 tigger named[24126]: cache zone "" loaded (serial 0)
Dec 10 11:12:36 tigger named[3241]: Ready to answer queries.
everything seems to be running o.k. but when i try to ping
preventionresearch.org from
another machine i get "ping: unknown host preventionresearch.org"
did i miss something in setting this new second domain up?
thanx! in advance
