SERVFAIL, id: 2

[Steve Moore]

We are running bind 8.3.4 on AIX 5.1.  Our primary dns server refuses to 
resolve the MX record for nrci.com and responds with "status: SERVFAIL, id: 
2" (see the dig results below).  The primary dns server resolves the A 
record for nrci.com just fine.  Also our secondary dns server (same bind 
and OS level) resolves both the A and MX record for nrci.com.

I would appreciate any wisdom that you can provide.  Thanks.

%dig nrci.com
