If you are accessing the authorative server directly you ALWAYS get an
authoratative answer. If you are getting a non-authorative answer you
are either not accessing the authorative server or the authorative
server does not consider itself authoratative -- which means it didn't
bring up one of the zones properly. The zone file could be munged or
you or you could have an error in your named.conf. The errors get
logged through syslog, so I'd suggest you look there to see what the
problem is.
