Hello there,

Out of nowhere, my name server cannot resolve its own name:
This is a query while I am logged into the same box:


5$ nslookup ns2.wananchi.com
Server:  ns2.wananchi.com
Address:  62.8.64.4

*** ns2.wananchi.com can't find ns2.wananchi.com: Non-existent host/domain


I have looked and looked and now I believe a "third eye" is perfectly in 
order. I have also used some web-based tools (out of desperation) -

http://demo.dnsdoctor.org/
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mj/sleuth/

They also still confirm my fears...

I am probably just missing some logging option to reveal this. I have
added

!named
*.*	/var/log/named.log

to syslog.conf. However that log file does not reveal much in terms of 
why there is NO A record for ns2.wananchi.com, even though I can see one
in the zone file! named-checkzone says we are fine... while we are 
not:-(


[root at ns2]#named-checkzone wananchi.com /etc/namedb/views/internal/wananchi.com
zone wananchi.com/IN: loaded serial 2006102602
OK
[root at ns2]#named-checkzone wananchi.com /etc/namedb/views/external/wananchi.com
zone wananchi.com/IN: loaded serial 2006102602
OK


Now I remain simply stumped.
Any advise to identify the problem would be most helpful.
