DNS stuff againnnn....

[Alex Pilson <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I have finally setup two separate machines. One running 2.1.10 and running running 3.0.3.

I followed all instructions given...

2.1.10 machine is Primary DNS (209.51.135.163)

3.0.3 machine is Secondary DNS  (209.51.135.164)

How come when I query a domain I get no authority records like below;

;; Query: www.mslinteractive.com ,type = ANY, class = IN

;; ANSWERS:
mslinteractive.com.  2419200 IN      MX      20      mail.mslinteractive.com.

mslinteractive.com.     2419200 IN      SOA     www.mslinteractive.com. mail.mslinteractive.com. (
                      20023   ; serial
                        3600    ; refresh
                       28800   ; retry
                604800  ; expire
                        2419200)        ; minimum
mslinteractive.com.    2419200 IN      A       209.51.135.164

;; AUTHORITY RECORDS:

;; ADDITIONAL RECORDS:
mail.mslinteractive.com.       2419200 IN      A       209.51.135.162

AND when you just set  it up and don't alter anything at all I get the name server being the domain name itself...what's the deal?
