Hello,
	I have this domain, lakeelections.com that is resolving from some
DNS boxes and not resolving from others. I am running 8.2.2 on a FreeBSD
machine that serves the DNS for lakeelections.com. The domain will resolve
from a number of different DNS servers from around the world but from
others the site will not resolve, for example:
> server ns1.lightstream.net
Default Server:  ns1.lightstream.net
Address:  216.130.0.2

> set type=any
> lakeelections.com
Server:  ns1.lightstream.net
Address:  216.130.0.2

Non-authoritative answer:
lakeelections.com       nameserver = NS1.OH.VERIO.NET
lakeelections.com       nameserver = NS1.LAKECOUNTYOHIO.ORG

Authoritative answers can be found from:
lakeelections.com       nameserver = NS1.OH.VERIO.NET
lakeelections.com       nameserver = NS1.LAKECOUNTYOHIO.ORG
NS1.OH.VERIO.NET        internet address = 198.88.18.10
NS1.LAKECOUNTYOHIO.ORG  internet address = 198.87.224.5
 

but from another DNS server the domain will not resolve:

> server rush.mwweb.com
Default Server:  rush.mwweb.com
Address:  209.176.88.1

> set type=any
> lakeelections.com
Server:  rush.mwweb.com
Address:  209.176.88.1

*** rush.mwweb.com can't find lakeelections.com: Non-existent host/domain

The entry in the named.conf is:
zone "lakeelections.com" in {
       type master;
      file "lakeelections.com";
}; 


and the file lakeelections.com is:
@       IN      SOA    ns1.lakecountyohio.org.
hostmaster.lakecountyohio.org. (
                                1999110100
                                3600
                                300
                                3600000
                                3600 )

        IN      NS      ns1.lakecountyohio.org.
        IN      MX      10 mail.lakecountyohio.org.
        IN      A       198.87.224.5
www     IN      CNAME   @


Any ideas as to what this domain will resolve from some and not from other
DNS servers? Just maybe a hint, I have been able to confirm that
most/maybe all of the servers where this domain does not resolve are NT
DNS boxes. Does that have any bearing on things? Thanks a lot for your
time. bye
