I created 2 nameservers with 2 ips, ns1 and ns2.
I put these nameservers under the domain and use BIND to connect them. It works fine, but...
if I have
www.domain.com - it works
Without the www on the other hand, no such luck...
domain.com - fails, doesn't even see or connect to the server
I tried pinging and same result.
Anyone have a solution for this?

Guess its more of DNS entries than of the Domain name.
But I do not know the exact solutions to this.

do you actually have a www record in the zone file?

Yes I have a www record. I also tried a blank record, but to no avail...im using Bind 9 , on Win2003 with IIS6...If that helps..

Obviously at this point you've already tried restarting named right?
If it still isn't working there must be a problem with your zone file, maybe not formated right. How bout a copy and paste?
I've never actually used bind for windoze though so there could be something added in there that i'm missing.

domain.com is the domain
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is 1st ip
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is 2nd ip
---------------------------------
@ NS ns1.domain.com.
@ NS ns2.domain.com.
@ MX 10 domain.com.
in A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
@ in A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ns1 in A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ns2 in A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxa
domain.com. in NS ns1.domain.com.
domain.com. in NS ns2.domain.com.

how bout trying to delete the line: www.domain.com. in A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
And change:
www in cname domain.com.
to:
www IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Also make sure you update the serial and restart named before the changes will work!

It seems I found the problem, thanks for the help...I think I put in too much the first time and confused the server. So I redid the file, restarted and worked like a charm!
Final version:
@ NS ns1.domain.com.
@ NS ns2.domain.com.
@ MX 10 domain.com.
@ in A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ns1 in A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ns2 in A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxa
domain.com. in A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
www in A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ftp in cname domain.com.
pop in cname domain.com.
smtp in cname domain.com.
mail in cname domain.com.
*.domain.com. in A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Again, thanks for the help and fast replies, Problem Solved!
