DNS Server Errors? help!

[angst6]

hello,
I've been running tests on my dns server,
and I'm getting one error that is very bad:

ERROR: You have one or more lame nameservers. These are nameservers that do NOT answer authoritatively for your domain. This is bad; for example, these nameservers may never get updated. The following nameservers are lame:
206.*.*.62

that server is my secondary.

can any one please help me solve this issue?

thanks in advance for your time!

When exactely are you getting this error? What are you doing?
Maybe posting a config file would help...

best regards
Klaus

There is an error in your DNS config.
Post your zone files and named.conf

i'm running powerdns, not bind. ( www.powerdns.com )
but maybe you could explain to me why this would happen, and how you would normaly fix it?
i could still post the config though if you think it will help

It happens when in your config file(s) (named.conf for BIND), you don't have the authoritative option set (I don't know quite what it's called in powerdns, maybe someone that's used that knows what to set, or maybe you could take a look at a diff of the configurations on your primary vs. secondary servers).

You should have that set at least on your primary server, and I suspect also on your secondary server (if the primary goes down, you still want authoritative answers to queries, correct?).

[angst6]

yes thats correct,
by any chance do u have a copy of a bind config file that i could look at?

and i haven't had any help from the powerdns people.,

thanks again for your time!

There are some examples in the docs from bind's web site.
That's how I set mine up. Mine's only a chaching/forwarding name server. No need to run your own unless you run a sub domain. Let the ISP take care of it. Just have yours for local queries.
If you don't find the docs helpful I may post mine here.
