Hi Guys, Here is my setup: ISPConfig 3.0.3.2 CentOS 5 Bind server: (Followed point 17 here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.5-x86_64-ispconfig-3-p5) www.reddragonhosting.org is pointing to my server (confirmed through ping) ns1.reddragonhosting.org is pointing to my server (again through ping) ns2.reddragonhosting.org is pointing to another server, can't ping due to f/w but I know it works. The problem I am having is whenever I try to point a domain at my nameservers it doesn't work and spits back "unknown host" I have attached a screenshot of the DNS settings which should be handling one of my domains. If I change the hosts file on my local computer to point to the server it is fine, so something is going wrong with the DNS and I am not sure what. Any help would be appreciated.
Please check the dns server locally. Login on the shell and execute the command: dig @localhost yourdomain.com where yourdomain.com has to be replaced with the domain that does not work.

Restart bind on the shell. Then take a look into the syslog in /var/log and post the messages that you get there related to the bind restart.
