Re: DNS resolver decided to ignore my DNS

I have now removed the two name servers of my ISP from resolve.conf and now, two of the domains work, that is to say they get resolved in the local private namespace.

Well, it indicates that the first DNS entry in the list timed-out.

It seems that for some reason one of the name servers of my ISP (on place two and three) in the list has taken preference and I remember to have stumbled into that a looooong time before. The question now is how can I automate the process to let my own name server take precedence after whatever incident may lead to another server taking precedence ? Any ideas ?

Then still, on the question of why the .net domain doesn't resolve to the local namespace, I am simply clueless. I checked its zone file again and it is essentially the very same zone file as for the other domains, with the difference that the domain name is different. Any ideas ?

Something is causing the domain to not resolve properly. Forget about your ISP's DNS, in fact take it off of the list temporarily. Your DNS isn't working properly. You may think the entry is identical to the other domains, but something is obviously different, so you have to hunt for that.

Have you restarted the DNS server since the latest changes?
