Hi All:

I am having a problem with a zone loading at ns1.granitecanyon.com.

Here is my zone;

<clip>
subdude.com.        IN NS ns1.granitecanyon.com.
subdude.com.        IN NS ns2.granitecanyon.com.
subdude.com.        IN RP cdbaric.mail.com. bdt.subdude.com.
bdt.subdude.com.  IN TXT "NIC: BT2545"

subdude.com.        IN A 24.68.77.116
localhost               IN A 127.0.0.1
www                    IN CNAME subdude.com.
ftp                         IN CNAME subdude.com.
mail                      IN CNAME subdude.com.
subdude.com.       IN MX 10 subdude.com.
</clip>

Here is the error message;

cannot redefine zone 'subdude.com' class IN

This suggest that the zone already exists in the named.conf but none is
being published.

I have the "subdude.com" zone currently being published at zoneedit but
would like a backup DNS service.

Thanks,

CD

Zone data looks good, except there are no NS records pointing to ZE.

True.  Strange that there is no other error.  This can happen if you create 
the account twice with different capitalization, but that doesn't appear to 
be the case here.  The only thing I can think of is to try deleting the 
zone, and re-create it after the deletion takes effect.

In that case you should be setting up a secondary account at GC, not 
primary.

Oh, ZoneEdit- well I am creating this zone in case Zoneedit goes down or
they change there policies. It can take so long to get a GC zone published,
I thought I would keep a functioning zone on GC just in cae.

This may be the case. Is there any way to have the GC named.conf files
flushed of different-capitalized versions of the subdude.com zone?

I tried that in the past. Completely deleted the zone, allowed weeks to go
by before the error message disappeared from the reject list, and tried a
completely new fresh zone.

It is intention to keep the zone on GC in the event Zoneedit goes down or
changes policy - not as a true secondary.

Thanks Fred,
