nslookup error on ubuntu client cant find dns server

[alienprdkt]

Need help with nslookup mydomain.com

ok will try my best to give everything needed:

heres my db.mydomain.com file from my nameserver:


$mydomain.com. IN SOA ns1.$mydomain.com. support.$mydomain.com. (
1 ; Serial
24h ; Refresh
1h ; Retry
2w ; Expire
1h ) ; Negative Cache TTL
;
; NS Records
;
$mydomain.com. IN NS ns1.$mydomain.com.

; Host Addresses
;
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
ns1.$mydomain.com. IN A $ipaddress

;
; Web Site Addresses
;
$mydomain. IN A $ipaddress
;
; Canonical Names
;
; ----- nexwrxdemo.com sites -----
;
www CNAME $mydomain.com.
support CNAME $mydomain.com.
;store CNAME $mydomain.com.
;

here is my outputted from my named.conf.default-zones file:

// prime the server with knowledge of the root servers
zone "." {
type hint;
file "/etc/bind/db.root";
};

// be authoritative for the localhost forward and reverse zones, and for
// broadcast zones as per RFC 1912
zone "mydomain.com" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.mydomain.com";
};


zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.local";
};

zone "127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.127";
};

zone "0.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.0";
};

zone "255.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.255";
};



here is my output from running dig mydomain:

user@mydomain:/etc/bind$ dig mydomain.com

here is the output after running nslookup mydomain

user@mydomain:/etc/bind$ nslookup mydomain.com
Server: 68.87.64.150
Address: 68.87.64.150#53

** server can't find mydomain.com: NXDOMAIN

also here is the /etc/resolv.conf file on the ubuntu client that I have made unwritable for further edits:


# Generated by NetworkManager
search mydomain.com
nameserver 68.87.64.150
nameserver 68.87.75.198
nameserver $nsIPAddress

any help would be great I really need Ubuntu to beable to access my dns server.

I can use nslookup on mac and it works great but my ubuntu cant hit it up?
Please help,
Thanks in advance,

well gave it a $TTL statement now I don't have anything in syslog, but still no good on the nslookup.

Just fixed it it has to be the only name server in /etc/resolv.conf
