Zone Transfer / SOA Problem

Re: Zone Transfer / SOA Problem

My DNS is really screwed up now.

I checked that and I had an old IP address for some of the domains.

I went onto the local system NS2, and re-installed QDNS. Deleted all my
slave servers and tried to manually re-add them. I am still gettgin the
"Unable to open file..." and "Failed to lookup SOA..." errors on NS2.

Am I missing something here?
