This is there and loaded. I can paste you the section from my conf file if
you wish.

And how can I make it authorative? I followed The O'Reilly Book DNS & BIND
to a T so now I am totally lost.

Recommendation? I am relatively new to DNS and I am learning as I go along.
I've had a home server setup for a while, but havent had issues with it, so
this is a first for me.

This doesnt suprise me since its Microsoft Exchange.

I think so too. I've asked them on several occasions to take us out of DNS
and they claim they've taken it out. Maybe they havent. I will give them a
call again.

PS - where can I get the tool you used to get this information?
