I understood the difference between the filename and the zone names. (see below) > > > > dnsalias.net.zone: > > > $ttl 38400 > > > palmetto.dnsalias.net.

( > > > 2003033006 > > > 10800 > > > 3600 > > > 604800 > > > 38400 ) Above you are specifying an SOA record for palmetto.dnsalias.net, in your previous post example you loaded the zone as dnsalias.net, not palmetto.dnsalias.net. > > > palmetto.dnsalias.net.

IN CNAME Above are the NS, A and CNAMES all for palmetto.dnsalias.net, but my point was you loaded the zone as dnsalias.net in named.conf, not palmetto.dnsalias.net. In a normal delegation, the TLD (dnsalias.net) would specify the NS records (the delegation records) for palmetto.dnsalias.net in their zone file. > palmetto.dnsalias.net. > > > > You are specifying dnsalias.net in your zone definition > > (named.conf) above, but loading the delegated zone > > (palmetto.dnsalias.net) without first specifying the glue > > records for dnsalias.net. i.e. the TLD. > Can you please explain.

Check your /etc/resolv.conf and make sure you are specifying your own name server "first". Plus make sure your /etc/hosts file is not accidently specifying something you do not want.
