freebsd and dns

[Bradley McGuigan]

Hi all,

I hope someone out there can give me a hand with this important query!!!!!!

My company has a freebsd server that is used as a secondary DNS server. Our 
ISP also get our DNS entries from this server (they shadow them on thier 
servers). Since this morning, no-one has been able to send email to us, 
connect via vpn or anything else for that matter. External connections from 
the company are workign fine (i.e. we can send emails - just not recieve 
them!) Our ISP has said that they have checked and their shadow dns servers 
have no information in them. They have attempted to pick up this information 
from my freebsd server but supposedly this has returned no information.

I have looked in the /usr/local/etc/namedb directory and can see 2 fioles 
that contain the dns information: db.company.co.uk.external and 
db.company.co.uk.internal

Is there anything I have to do to get these picked up? My freebsd/unix 
knowledge is basic unfortunatley. Is it maybe that the dns service is not 
started? Am I looking in the wrong place for the DNS files?

Any help greatly appreciated

Best regards

Brad
