    Bind seems to be restarting properly and there is a proccess running however if I try to ping google.com or ping msn.com it says unkown host?

    Any ideas on that one? It seems to be a new problem on this server....

    Go on, have a guess
    It's likely to be a problem with your /etc/resolv.conf

    Try adding the following to the top of that file (changing 11.22.33.44 for your servers main IP address - not 127.0.0.1):

    nameserver 11.22.33.44

    check /etc/resolv.conf and make sure the nameservers listed there are real and actual ns and will respond to dns requests from your server.

    You were right...I had my two nameservers listed in there....of which the server that was having the problem was one of them. It turns out we just had to move it to be listed first in the resolv.conf file and that fixed it.

    Thanks!
