I'm trying to get my box to run dns as a primary to our domain ... 
I have it running using a pointer to named.root in the boot up (named.boot)
The problem is I can't seem to find a way to have my dns lookup itself or
our domain ...?
We allready have a dns server at our isp and I suspect that is hampering
the a lookup ?

I can't do a nslookup for our domain from the box either ...
any ideas on what it is I'm doing wrong .. (and I'm sure it is me!)

thanks,
Tony
