The master is not multihomed. only one physical ethernet device.
However, the slave has multiple interfaces, but is serving only on the
zero interface.

But, I will look up the /etc/named.conf entry to specify device
preferences and try that. I'm having this ill feeling it will not help
though.

Maybe i just gotta wait 48? Maybe a diff in bind versions?? I still
don't know....
to re-cap on some thoughts from an earlier email:
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
You know... I'm reading this bind book "O'Reilly DNS & BIND Cookbook" and
it talks about Registering a Domain Name Section 1.5, and Registering Name
Servers Section 1.6; and that the registrar is responsible for top level
delegation for zone data.

I did change my ns primary host name and ip via the networksolutions web
interface... Under the 'host management' section. Perhaps I need to wait
48 hours for this to propogate? The site mentioned 24-48 hours.

Yet, when i do a whois webmedianow.com, it returns properly:

NS1.WEBMEDIANOW.COM 216.55.144.16
NS2.WEBMEDIANOW.COM 216.55.144.33

and it used to be:

NS.WEBMEDIANOW.COM 216.55.144.16
NS2.WEBMEDIANOW.COM 213.11.111.252


Hmmm. other wise, I still do not know how to make 216.55.144.16
"ns1.webmedianow.com" an authoritative name server.

The bind version of the master is:
[root@apollo root]# named -v
BIND 9.2.1

The bind version of the slave is:
[teaser:~] root# named -v
BIND 9.2.2
