    Bind9 DNS Server not found - "9(NOAUTH)"

    Today I followed this tutorial: TUTORIAL
    But I get an error message:

    user@localhost:~$ host -l office.lan
    ; Transfer failed.
    Host office.lan.office.lan not found: 9(NOTAUTH)
    ; Transfer failed.
    what could I have missed?

    Host office.lan.office.lan not found
    A quick guess is that you are missing a trailing period in some host declaration. Notice how it has appended the domain to the domain. The trailing period is critical in zone files and easy to miss.

    For instance,

    Code:
    @  IN SOA example.com ...
    
       IN NS example.com
    will result in the nameserver appearing to be example.com.example.com because the entry in the NS declaration is missing a trailing period.

    Double-post due to server reboot.
