huge bind problems killing all my sites

[Jorel]

Here's what happens when I try to restart bind. It's screwing up all of my sites. They interimitently redirect to some japanese site or just show a blank page with an astrik. Please help! Try going to one of the domains below to see what I mean.

I need assistance immediately and am willing to pay for it.

[Jorel]

maybe it's not a bind problem but something entirely different. whatever it is, it's ruining everything for me. i really need some help if anyone can offer it.

[AndyReed]

Are you sure DNS and NS are comfigured properly on your server? Do you see any error messages in the /var/log/messages when BIND failed or having this problem?

[Jorel]

they may not be correctly configured but i don't know what i'm missing. i've setup nameservers before. i thought everything was fine. dsnreport.com seems to say all of the nameservers are fine. here: http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsre...unshadowed.net
and here:
http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsre...unshadowed.net

here's a sample output of the logs. i'm confused why domains like melinda.net and usanetmail.com, that i don't even host are showing up in the logs. any thoughts?

[Jorel]

is it possible that my old dns records on my old server(s) (which are still up) are conflicting with everything?

[Jorel]

upon doing a tracert i get this on the second to last hop:
[Unknown - Firewall did not respond] - but i didn't install a firewall.

[Jorel]

i believe i have fixed the issue. it was related to /etc/resolv.conf not being set properly. of, course i feel like an idiot because this isn't exactly my first cpanel server.
