/var/named/domain.com.db.test:13: warning "1" is not a decimal dotted quad

A client experiences problems with a domain that he just created an account for at the server. It has already propagated and loads fine with http://www.domain.com in the browser. But it doesn't load with http://domain.com - the page not found error is returned. I looked at the DNS zone and did a little correction - not related to this problem. When I clicked the save button above error were returned. Does anyone know what it means?

Thanks

Sounds like there's a "1" where an IP address should be. Can you paste the contents of the zone file?

Check for any keys that you hit by accident while editing the DNS zone.
Also, if my memory serves me right, :13: is the line that the error is occuring on.

Yes, it were a missing IP (replaced by 1) and I obviously hit something by mistake. - also, the with and without www problem disappeared after using ipconfig.exe /flushdns from the command prompt. Thanks for helping

Yep, no problem. Glad to see your problems are fixed.
