nslook up domain and ping domain problem

Hi, I have problem to either nslookup my domain and ping my domain.
I have both DNS services and Open Directory Master setup.
When I do the nslookup my domain, I got the following answer

nslookup mydomain.com
Server: 192.168.1.2
Address: 192.168.1.2#53

Can't find mydomain.com: No answer

When I ping my domain, I got the following answer:
unknown host.

Here is the zone that I have setup:
mydomain.com.
myhost.mydomain.com machine 192.168.1.2
ns1 alias myhost.mydomain.com

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Mac OS X (10.5.2)

There is no "mydomain.com" to lookup

If you try :

host 192.168.1.2

or

host myhost.mydomain.com

or

host ns1.mydomain.com

What do you get?

Thanks for the info. I finally can pint my domain. When I do the nslookup, I still got this

mydomain.com
server: 192.168.1.2
address: 192.168.1.2#53

Can't find mydomain.com: No answer.

I can do both host 192.168.1.2
with an answer of 2.1.1.168.192 in-addr.arpa domain name pointer myhost.mydomain.com
and with host myhost.mydomain.com.
I got my myhost ip.

Thanks,

Don't use nslookup. Use dig instead.

And as for the trigger, your DNS configuration seems to have issues. Post all of your zone files, and please don't edit them to obscure anything. (The information here is public anyway, and obscuring things tends to lead to issues sorting out DNS errors.)
