Im having trouble using bind. It seems to run just fine with no errors but I can't get my domain up on it. I am running a ubuntu 8.04 vps server that has no domain managment and I have to host my own domain. Im pretty new to linux but I have my vps completely setup, I just cant get my domain going on it. Can someone please help me to resolve this. I have been working on this for almost a week and I cant get it to work. It seems like I will never have it going and its very frustrating. just tell me what info you need and I will provide it. when i dig my domain it looks good and when i ping it, it looks good and i just dont know what to do anymore.

How far do you get? Does the dns box itself resolve the records from like the loopback (127.0.0.1).
Are you running iptables? Did you allow tcp/udp port 53?
does "netstat -an | grep 53"
return something listening? What does the line look like?
Is the server a local or hosting a real domain?
Can you post your named.conf and some sample records + the exact locations?
I am not familiar with VPS, are you assigning a routable address or using some network translation?

In addition to the above: did you follow a particular "howto"? If not, what set of instructions did you have?
Please clarify what you mean by "cant get my domain going on it.". What exactly are you attempting to accomplish? Are you trying to run a named local LAN or are you trying to provide a DNS system that will be publicly (internet) authoritative?
