help for the bind problem.

[CS]

Thanks Kevin.  My fault for misspell the file name.  I tried dig, still
can not find why.  Here is the detail information.  I also open
firewall by using ipstables.
I also checked nsswitch.conf.  it has line:
hosts: files dns
If in client's resolv.conf, I add one line
nameserver x.y.z.w
in addition to "nameserver 192.168.1.2", here x.y.z.w is my ISP's dns
and 192.168.1.2 is the local dns, then I can use dig to find out
information and got return from internet.  If I comment out x.y.z.w,
then I use dig, I did not got anything.  So I think the client uses
192.168.1.2 in resolv.conf.

Thanks in advance.

Here is some detail.
