Not authoritative?

My DA was working ok and was happily adding domain and all of them works fine.

However, the recent domain that I've added all could not resolve due to "not authoritative". Please see the followign link

http://www.checkdns.net/quickcheck.aspx?domain=chance-of-a-lifetime.com&detailed=1

Anyone know what could have gone wrong?

ns1.serversingapore.com and ns2.serversingapore.com are not returning A records.

Perhaps because they're not there?

I'm presuming that ns1.serversingapore.com and ns2.serversingapore.com are both on your DA server.

Check your /var/named.conf file to see if it includes a listing for chance-of-a-lifetime.com.

Check the zone file it references to see if it's there.

Do:

dig @localhost chance-of-a-lifetime.com to see what you get.

If the files look correct and you don't get a response, then restart bind:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart

and see if you can see it then.

I checked the /etc/named.conf file and it had the entries. The
referenced files were also there. In fact, files related to all the
other domains were symbolically linked to a file
in /var/named/chroot/var/named/. But for this domain, it was
in /var/named/ directory itself. I then moved to chroot directory and
sym linked it. I also restarted bind. it doesn't work. I am giving the
results of dig below

[root@serversingapore ~]# dig @localhost chance-of-a-lifetime.com

; <<>> DiG 9.2.5rc1 <<>> @localhost chance-of-a-lifetime.com

It's working now actually. Passed both your test and the one at dnsreport.com. Maybe it hadn't updated the root DNS servers yet? *shrug*
