The server was unable to lookup an an A entry for its hostname (xxxx.domain.com). This is generally because the entry was never added. However this could also be the result of your nameserver(s) being down. If you would like to attempt to automaticlly add the entry

I clicked add and everytime i log into WHM it asks for the same thing....

Does anyone else have this problem?

Did you check the DNS zone to make sure it was actually added?

Nope

IP = 0
IP2 = ns1.owner.com
IP3 = ns2.owner.com
IP4 = dns.someoneelse.com
IP5 = dns2.someoneelse.com

IP is the main one... I assume that I can not have 2 NS1s... should i create another nameserver to fill that spot?

make sure your server is in /etc/hosts and make sure you have a proper entry in the zone....

otherwise I wouldn't worry about it....

My hosts file does not contain entries for the nameservers only loopback and the main domain.

No, that file just looks fine. And the server is in your zone as well? Then it's okay.... it won't change the functionality of the server.
