BIND 4 to 8

[Ahbaid Gaffoor <ahbaidg guyana net gy>]

Hello all,

I have had BIND 4 something running fine, however I decided to up to
BIND 8...

after removing 4 and loading the 8 RPM, I can't get it to work,

I changed /etc/named.boot to /etc/named.conf and changed the file to the
8 format,

my data files are as they were before...

I used DNS & BIND from O'Reilly as a reference and everything seems
fine,

I also made sure that /etc/sysconfig/network has my domain name and that

resolv.conf references the nameserver...

But it doesn't work,

when trying an nslookup I keep getting a "server failed" error,

any tips on what I may be doing wrong?

thanks,

Ahbaid.
