Subject: Newbie Question...



I have setup Bind 8.2.2 P5 on a RedHat 6.2 server. Everything resolves
okay if I explicitly list the hostname with the domain name. For
Example:
> set q=any
> abc-def.com
Server:  [192.168.3.99]
Address:  192.168.3.99


abc-def.com
        origin = ns1.abcinc.com
        mail addr = hostmaster.abcinc.com
        serial = 9899191
        refresh = 10800 (3H)
        retry   = 3600 (1H)
        expire  = 604800 (1W)
        minimum ttl = 86400 (1D)
abc-def.com     nameserver = ns1.abcinc.com
abc-def.com     nameserver = ns2.abcinc.com

doesn't list any A,MX records. If I type mail.abc-def.com then it will
return the MX for this domain. What am I doing wrong? Here is the zone
file for this domain(IP's changed to protect the innocent).

@ IN SOA ns1.abcinc.com. hostmaster.abcinc.com.   (

                                9899191 ; Serial
                                10800   ; Refresh after 3 hours
                                3600    ; Retry after 1 hour
                                604800  ; Expire after 1 week
                                86400 ) ; Minimum TTL of 1 day



localhost       IN A            127.0.0.1
www             IN A            209.994.949.918
mail            IN A            209.914.951.988
                IN MX           10 mail
ns1.abcinc.com  IN A            192.168.3.99
ns2.abcinc.com  IN A            172.10.219.15

Thanks in Advance!
