<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I have two DNS servers both running Debian Linux 7.2.0, BIND 9.8.4 in a private LAN. I set up an unregistered domain to see how things would run. When I run dig on the domain
just to see if it will resolve, I get this error:<br>
<br>
; <<>> DiG 9.8.4-rpz2+rl005.12-P1 <<>> jeffdiss.org<br>

This seems simple enough. I'm running dig from the primary DNS server itself and I'm thinking I should be able to get an answer for jeffdiss.org. Can someone point me in the right direction?<br>
