This means that there is no authoritive nameserver for this domain. Please post the exact dig command that you used. Did you create the DNS-Record in the ISPConfig DNS-Manager on this server.
The command I used was: dig @76.201.116.225 aol.com 76.201.116.225 is my Primary Nameserver (ns1.50hq.com) 76.201.116.226 is my Secondary Nameserver(ns1.50hq.com) This is the output when I dig the secondary nameserver: srv1:~# dig @76.201.116.226 aol.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> @76.201.116.226 aol.com ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 37590 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;aol.com.

Not sure which record you are referring to. Fordwrench
If 76.201.116.225 is your own nameserver, then you've sucessfully created DNS records for aol.com (not sure though why you want to do this...).
I have not created any records for aol.com in my dns. I have only created records for my own sites. When I dig at a local site it displays the info properly. Should I not be able to dig any fqdn and get the proper info from my dns servers? I am just not sure about this. I have learned a lot from your site and am continuing to learn. I want to make sure my setup is correct. Most of the howto's are real informative about showing you how to do some particular task or setup although it may not explain why you do something a particular way. That is what helps me learn, to not only know how but why? Now from what I gather my nameservers are not authoritive or authoritative, Not sure which is which since I have seen it spelled both ways so many times reading through the forums. How to I make this setup right? Thanks Fordwrench
Yes, that's right. Normally your domain registrar should have a web interface where you can set your nameservers as the authoritative nameservers for your domains. Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_providerdomain_schlund
Again, Thanks for the help. I followed the Godaddy howto and still I have this problem. I ssh into srv1.50hq.com (www-server). I type : dig @ns1.50hq.com aol.com and I get: srv1:~# dig @ns1.50hq.com aol.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> @ns1.50hq.com aol.com ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 14869 ;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 13, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;aol.com.

Hm, resolv.conf contains identical nameservers on all servers, so that doesn't seem to be the problem...
