Bind9.16 zone SOA record issue.
I've been pounding my head over this issue all day with no results. I am hosting Bind9.16 on a Ubuntu 20.04 server. I have several zone records that report the same problem but I also have several zoned that are configured with this same template and run okay on the server. I've surfed the Internet for any clues and tried everything I can think of but cannot get rid of this problem. I really would appreciate any help I can get.

My domain name name not propagating through the Internet.
I have been fighting a problem of setting up a new Bind9.9 primary
authoritative server on the Internet for over 2 weeks now. My hosted
secondary server cannot be set up until my primary server comes alive on
the Internet. I have fought my domain name provider for over 2 weeks
trying to get my new server propagated throwout the Internet and they
say that the problem is with my server. This is very perplexing because
there are at least 4 DNS servers out there that see my server and
respond to all queries successfully that land on my server but no other
server can see mine. It's hard to believe that the problem is on my end.
I am here asking for fresh sets of eyes to look at my setup file and the
domain zone record that is at issue. My domain is sleepyvalley.net and
my primary dns server is ns1.sleepyvalley.net. Standard A records that
should resolve are www., ftp., and mail.sleepyvalley.net.

SRV record not working
I have created a SRV record for a new subdomain A record. I set nslookup to use my DNS server directly and when I query for the A record it returns it. When I set type=SRV and ask for the srv record nothing is returned. My SRV record: _minecraft._tcp.skyblock.mc-game.us. IN SRV 0 5 25567 skyblock.mc-game.us. I need a 2nd pair of eyes on this one. Thanks, Tom Strike ___ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
SRV record not working
Thanks all for your quick response. I didn't need a 2nd pair of eyes, I needed a 2nd brain. I didn't think that I had to use the fully qualified domain name and was just using the subdomain.domain.name for the queries. What can I say, I'm old and going senile. Your responses showed me the error of my ways. My record was working, I wasn't. Thanks again everyone. p.s. I know that most of you hate nslookup but I have been using it since the 90's and it's my go-to utility. I get the same responses whether I use Dig or nslookup. If nslookup doesn't return what I am looking for, I do use Dig also. ;I have created a SRV record for a new subdomain A record.
