If there are 'A' records, I'm not seeing them when querying your nameservers.

What if you restart BIND, does that help? You can restart BIND by typing "/etc/init.d/named restart" on CentOS, or "/etc/init.d/bind9 restart" on Debian or Ubuntu.

If that doesn't work, do you see any errors in the logfiles in /var/log?

I got disgusted and removed it.
However, after getting you email I recreated demo.myobcba.info. I made sure that there is a "A" record for demo.myobcba.info and the nameservers ns1.demo.myobcba.info, webhost.demo.myobcba.info

The subserver demo.myobcba.info still does not work. I've checked the sub-server template over and over again.

Help!

So what happens when you try restarting BIND as described above -- and if that doesn't work, what shows up in the logs?

i didn't see anything in the logs. the restart command didn't work.

The work around was to create a master DNS zone and MANUALLY create the "A" and "NS" record entries. This should'nt have to be so. Sub-servers should be functional out of the box.
