This has been driving me crazy, but I can't seem resolve anything on a virtual machine I've set up using the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS guide. I've only used the web gui to add the domain in. See below for what was generated. Brand new install. I've searched/replaced my domain name with webdesign.com.

I have another virtual machine with 10.4 LTS and the same version of ISPConfig. No issues. I'm also seeing this in the syslog: Feb 1 18:07:35 webcenter4-v1 named[9607]: client 74.212.25.205#34128: query (cache) 'webdesign.com/A/IN' denied
[solution] Ok, so always add: ns1 and ns2 as an A record even though you set their IP with your registar, AND you have them listed as an NS server in ISP.
