That's just because you have 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf
instead of labultra5-a.jlic.com's IP address.

You probably don't want to set your TTL to zero.

You seem to be missing a field from your SOA record--
maybe the negative caching TTL?

Same here.

administrator.jlic.com. (

And here.

This isn't the right root hints file.  If you really have
no Internet connectivity, you might want to make
this a root name server.

> nameserver 172.22.1.1
> localhost 127.0.0.1

There's no "localhost" directive in resolv.conf.
