Cannot resolve domain that I'm hosting.

[e40]

Hello -

I registered another domain name last night, and this will be my first that points right to my machine that's running named. I waited until the whois information filled out on network solutions website, then decided to try my domain to see if it resolves. I tried to ping it, and noticed it resolved to 192.168.0.100 - oops! so I fixed that in my zone file. Anyways it should be working OK, but I still get a 'domain not found' error when trying to ping or nslookup. I can do it from my local machine if I put the machines external IP as a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, but when I hash it out to try hopping on an external nameserver, it's unreachable. There's nothing out of the ordinary in the logs.

Any ideas from those who have been thru this before?

What the heck, here's my zone RR's:


;
; Zone file for foo.com
;
; The full zone file
;
$TTL 3D
@ IN SOA ns1.foo.com. ben-smith.home.com. (
200103301 ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
8H ; refresh, seconds
2H ; retry, seconds
4W ; expire, seconds
1D ) ; minimum, seconds
;
TXT "foo.com - your one stop foo shop"
NS ns1 ; Inet Address of name server

localhost A 127.0.0.1

ns1 A my.external.ip

www CNAME ns1
bensmith CNAME ns1
ftp CNAME ns1

Thanks in advance!

I found it. I was missing a . after the ns1 in the NS record.
