Hello again, this is very odd...
I copied your zone file examples into mine and they worked fine. I then edited my zone files back to how they were when I was having the problem- and it now works!!
Here are the current contents of my zone files:
Forward zone:
Code:
$TTL 1h
@ IN SOA starburst.wes.internal. hostmaster.wes.internal. (
20080707 ; Serial
1d ; Refresh
2h ; Retry
1000h ; Expire
2d ; Minimum
)
IN NS starburst.wes.internal.
starburst IN A 192.168.1.1
Reverse zone:
Code:
$TTL 1h
@ IN SOA starburst.wes.internal. shostmaster.wes.internal. (
20080707 ; Serial
1d ; Refresh
2h ; Retry
1000h ; Expire
2d ; Minimum
)
IN NS starburst.wes.internal.
1 IN PTR starburst.wes.internal.
Take a look at them and compare them to the zone files I posted in my first post- I don't see a difference, do you? The only thing I can think of is that it is a spacing issue (I had spaces where I should -or shouldn't have). Either that or there was something named did not like about my original zone files themselves, as I created new zone files when I pasted your examples.
