I am trying to configure bind but it doesn't seem to allow me to add the nameservers i was using. They are registered and propagated and have been for a month. Ensim tells me there are no valid A records. I checked via SSH and it appears the nameservers and domains are all listed with (A) Records when doing a dig ns1.domain.com domain.com

I went in Ensim, added 2 (A)ddress records under the main zone but it still will not successfully add the DNS servers as the Primary or secondary. Listed in Bind is "server.domain.com" when i understand i should be able to change that to ns1.domain.com and then create a secondary one as Virtual ns2.domain.com. Any ideas where i might be going wrong? It gives me the following error both times:

What did you set for the Host Name and A names??

the problem is fixed now

it was all due to timeouts on FDC's side
they said they were getting attacked this weekend.

everything went through fine this time around
