Hi,

i seem to be having a strange ns record problem. i have a domain
profiles.co.ug, which i am an authority for. problem is i cannot retrieve
records for this domain even from my name server.

i have updated it, made sure that the zone file was correctly updated with a
new serial number, deleted and recreated it, made sure that the file
permisions are all right but i get nothing from it:

my name server is running named 8.4.4 on FreeBSD 4.9.

this is what i get when i query for this record

cachekla# host profiles.co.ug
Host profiles.co.ug not found: 2(SERVFAIL)


 and..........

cachekla# dig profiles.co.ug

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> profiles.co.ug
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 62699
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;profiles.co.ug.                        IN      A

;; WHEN: Wed Apr 26 16:05:44 2006
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 32

i get this query being sent to my secondary ns because aparently the primary
says its not authoritative for this domain. if i force a query to my primary
ns, it simply times out.

if i dig .UG, it returns me as the authority.....

cachekla# dig @web.eahd.or.ug profiles.co.ug
