KB,

It doesn't work for other domains which the dns server is authortative which
don't have hyphen. What's making this problem even more diffucult to narrow
down is that if I try to resolve domains which this dns server keeps records
for that some domains resolve and others don't.

hi

I think the hyphen in the domain name is giving the problem c'd you pl.
replace it with the . and check... Some of the bind versions are not
accepting the hyphen in the domain name like yours..

change from mcbc-dc.org to mcbc.dc.org.

Thanks
