Hi Simon. I've been away a few days; have you resolved this issue?

It's not giving authoritative responses for the domain. Which indicates
that it doesn't have a copy of the zone file, which it should be getting
automatically from the primary.

When I query ns.ldml.com for any record named ldml.com, I get the NS
records and the SOA record. It marks the response as authoritative.

When I give ns.gjint.co.uk the same query, it gives me a non-authoritative
response containing just the NS records.

Is ns.gjint.co.uk running QuickDNS Pro? If so, there should be a line in
the Secondary Data window that looks like this:
ldml.com. ldml.com. 62.6.164.2

(The second field's value can be different.)

PTR records are not the problem here.
