Re: newbie

Thanks for the help. I changed the serial number in the zone data file
and also in the db.ADDR where I had previously changed the ip address for
the zone in question but still after rndc reload, the nslookup still has
the old ip address. How long does it take for the name server to
recognize the change?

------------- Original message follows -------------

Change the serial number in the zone file to be 2004120901 and run rndc
reload again. The serial number needs to be increased every time you make
a change. The format that your site is using is YYYYMMDDnn where nn is
just a sequential number.

Its a common newbie mistake.

changed the TTL from 1 day to 3 minutes but still no luck. Below is the
zone data file. Please help if you can.
