DNS Zone disappears.

[bagadat]

Hello Everyone.

Was just wandering if anyone out there has been having the same anomaly…

I’ve just installed a fresh copy of Mac OS X Server 10.5.4 on a G5 (2 x 1.8Ghz). Configured DNS, Open Directory & Web and all went on beautifully…
The bizarre thing was that after i had to restart the server, i noticed that my domain name would take ages to respond… so i opened up Server Admin to see what was the story and discovered that the DNS Service was on but that it displayed in the Overview Section that i had no Primary Zones!!!!
But as soon as i click on the Zones Tab and go back to the Overview tab, the zone loads and the domain name responds asap….

had anyone have experienced something similar? if so, how can i fix that? and is this a none bug?
Or is it related to the domain name i’m using?

here are the logs:

well, that’s bizarre…

cause my A record is supposed to be macewindu.paoma.no-ip.biz and i wanted to also created an alias http://www.paoma.no-ip.biz…

i’m not too sure what it says that http://www.paoma.no-ip.biz is an illegal CNAME?!

any clue why it would do that?
