I already have two hosts pointing to my machine, and I am trying to add a third "webmail.user.domain.com, but I receive DNS failure lookup. I created a configuration file for "webmail" with the same settings as the other two hosts. My primary zone is this: $ORIGIN user.domain.com.
@ IN SOA ns.user.domain.com. hostmaster.user.domain.com. (
0 ; serial
1D ; refresh
1H ; retry
1W ; expire
3H ) ; minimum
@ IN NS ns.user.domain.com. @ IN MX 10 mail.user.domain.com.



ns IN A n.n.n.n
mail IN A n.n.n.n
m0 IN A n.n.n.n
m1 IN A n.n.n.n


www0 IN CNAME m0
www1 IN CNAME m0
webmail IN CNAME m0


I guess my question is why does webmail receive a DNS lookup failure even though its pointing to my machine? Do I need to create a zone in named.conf? Any help will greatly be appreciated, thanks.
