That is correct. I made the change like that to get it working
temporarily. The registrar is pointing to the angrystatic.com
nameservers, which the zone file is referencing the
dns.angryserver.net host. I then had dns.angrystatic.com point to the
same IP address as dns.angryserver.net, so the domain could be
resolved. What would the side effects be leaving the NS in the zone
file to angryserver, but the registrar pointing to angrystatic?
It looks as if the root cause of the problem is that the registrar is
not handling the glue record correctly, and causing the nameservers to
be unresolvable.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi All,
I recently set up a new web server for a group of hosts, and mirrored
the setup of bind off a working system. For some reason, the DNS is
not resolving off public dns server when the nameservers for these
domains are directed to this server, and i cannot resolve any of the
zones off public DNS but i can if i direct dig to resolve off the
server's IP.
The major difference is the registrar for the new domains. I am using
Site5.Com, and have directed the domains to the new nameservers.
Example, the domain is angrserver.net
Digging angryserver.net returns a timeout. I registered the name
servers below to the correct ip's, 205.186.156.125 and
205.186.156.124
on SIte5.
Primary Nameserver: dns.angryserver.net
Secondary Nameserver: dns2.angryserver.net
Dig angryserver.net @205.186.156.125 returns the correct results.
Bind
successfully started.
How will the registrar be able to resolve the host name
dns.angryserver.net if dns is not propagating? I understand that when
you register a domain, the registrar will send the nameserver
information to the root servers, which are then queried for your
domain when you do a lookup. If dns.angryserver.net and
dns2.angryserver.net is not propagated to the root servers, how can
it
be resolved to the correct nameserver? Do i need to create an A
record
for another domain and point that to the nameservers, and then update
my NS records for angryserver.net to use the other domain?
Bind is running and the zones are working, its just the whole working
across the internet that's getting me confussed.
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
I notice that if I ask the root servers, it tells me that the
authorative name servers are dns.angrystatic.com and dns2.angrystatic.com
.
But when I ask the servers at ip address 205.186.156.124 and
205.186.156.125, they tell me the names of the name servers for that
domain are dns.angryserver.net and dns2.angryserver.net.
The zone files do not match what the root servers are telling me.
