not able to access bind from windows client machine

Hi,
Im using Fedora4 and a VMware on it which runs Fedora5. Im running
bind-9.3.1-4 on Fedora4. Im not able to access my the index.html under
/var/ww/html on the Fedora4 machine from a Windows machine, but the
same is accessible under the VMmachine.

Under the Window system: a static ip is configured with the dns server
ip as default gateway and also as the dns server.

Following are my named.conf and est-it-03.zone file

//
// named.conf for Red Hat caching-nameserver
//

options {
directory "/var/named";
};

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow{ localhost; } keys { rndc_key; };
};

zone "."{
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};

zone "est-it-03.lab" {
type master;
notify yes;
file "est-it-03.zone";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa"{
type master;
file "named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};


est-it-03.zone file:

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA @ root (
42 ; serial (d.
adams)
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum

IN NS 192.168.10.240
IN A 127.0.0.1
IN AAAA ::1



windows machine: 192.168.10.243
DNS server machine: 192.168.10.240

On doing nslookup on windows command prompt, I get the following error:
C:\ nslookup est-it-03.lab
Cant find server name for address 192.168.10.240: Non existant domain
Default servers are not available
Server: Unknown
Address 192.168.10.240


Thanks
Danish

You have to define at least one glue record for the nameserver:

server IN A 192.168.10.240
@ IN NS server

And remove all the other records.

Without glue records, it won't know that it is, in fact, a nameserver.
Which is reflected in the error you get.
