WOO DNS

So I figured i could play around(Play being the key word) with Bind since I never had before, could't be to hard. I mean no other service configurations ive played with were hard, within 30 minutes of looking at nginx i was doing all kinds of crazy pointless stuff. I had 2 servers on, s1 and s2. I decided to setup 3, s3, to play around.

s1 and s3 run Webmin, s1 has webserver and other stuff including bind, s3 only runs bind. s2 runs virturalmin.

I figured if i got it working I would do ns1 = s1 and ns2 = s3, so ns2 won't be public.

I added s3 to s1's Bind Cluster Slave Servers, set "Create secondary on slave when creating locally?" set to yes. I found I can add zones and they get created as slaves on s3, dig seems to work correctly when connecting to s3 for the record.

Now when I was wondering how to get s2 to work with s1, i figures again, master/slave system. I go in s2. add s1 to the Bind Cluster Slave Servers. I then create a host in virtualmin, Zone is created and a slave zone is made on s1. Save zone was not made on s3 though. I figure in this case I just have to make s3 a slave of s2.

Second, dig returns SERVFAIL when trying to dig the domain record from s1.

Anyways, heres some technical stuff:

dig(The first one is the server connecting to its self)
