DNS problems

[Dana Holland]

I'm having trouble getting secondary DNS working on my RH 8.0 box.  This 
is my first attempt at using a Linux box for DNS - in the past I've 
always worked with AIX.  The primary DNS server is on AIX currently.

Below is the output for the dig commands - dns... is the primary server, 
while dns2... is the secondary server.  My ISP has told me that the 
ANSWER section needs to match - and it doesn't.
