Can't find server name

Joshua,

I've seen this when the reverse-address mappings for the IP address are
missing.  The second case of the wrong is also seen when the SOA for the
reverse address lookup is set up incorrectly... we have some incorrect
configurations for the SOA as well, and the servers that have the
incorrect SOAs (in our case, pointing to a nonexistent machine) also
exhibit this behavior.

You may need to check these two areas.

The funny messages I have under Windows NT look identical, and these are
the findings I have come up with so far.

Does your SOA reference a live name server for sitesuite.com?

Tom

When I do an nslookup for the domain sitesuite.com I get a time out.
the name server is called sitesuite.com 

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 10.0.0.50: Timed out
*** Default servers are not available
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  10.0.0.50

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
Name:    sitesuite.com
Address:  10.0.0.50

What have I done wrong?
