hi all,
I have a master nameserver running bind 8, I need to switch to a new
server running bind 9.1.2, I have copied the named.conf and the zone
files from the old to the new server. The new server starts and works
fine with the cache and the root zone, but It doesn't resolve any
address from the master zone files.

I can not find where is the error... any help? :-)

This is a master zone file:

2002031313 ; serial, todays date + todays
serial n
300 ; Refresh - 5 Minutes
60 ; Retry - 1 minute
1209600 ; Expire - 2 Weeks
43200) ; Minimum - 12 Hours
;
TXT "Cobest srl"
NS mz01.vnet.it. ; Inet Address of name
server
NS mz02.vnet.it.
MX 10 mail.vnet.it. ; Primary Mail Exchanger
MX 20 mail.hal9001.net. ; Secondary Mail
Exchanger
;
cobest.com. A 195.191.47.238
;
www CNAME cobest.com.
and this is the named.conf file:

options {
directory "/var/named";
query-source address * port 53;
allow-transfer {
80.16.61.155;
80.16.61.156;
80.16.61.147;
151.99.125.3;
};
listen-on port 53 {
80.16.61.146;
};

Quote:};

logging {
category lame-servers { null; };
category cname { null; };

Quote:};

zone "." {
type hint;
file "root.hints";

Quote:};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "pz2/0.0.127.in-addr.arpa";

Quote:};

zone "cobest.com" {
type master;
file "pz2/cobest.com";

Have you tried checking your log file to see named's error messages?

I notice you don't have a $TTL directive in the zone file. BIND 8 was
permissive about this (it would revert to the old behavior of using the SOA
Minimum field as the default TTL), but I think BIND 9 requires it if you
don't have explicit TTLs on every record.

One: there is no real sense in using bind-9.1.2 , several things
have been fixed that motivates using current (9.2.0 )

two: whats written in the logfile ? May i guess "missing 4TTL " ??

three : it does answer right now :

; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
