First I'd like to thank everyone in advance for helping me - communities like this are exactly what amatuers like myself need when faced with perplexing issues.
I've recently begun virtualizing servers - on of which is a dns server running bind9 on debian 7. My dhcp server correctly issues it as the primary dns for the network, but I just can't seem to get head or tail of why it isn't working. Feel free to ask me for more info
Zone file (the email has been changed to hide my personal info)
; BIND data file for kilraine zone
;
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA kilraine.lan. myaddress.myemail.com. (
2014060303 ; Serial
604800 ; Refresh
86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
IN A 192.168.1.2
;
@ IN NS dns.kilraine.lan
@ IN A 192.168.1.2
dns2 IN A 192.168.1.1
dns IN A 192.168.1.2
dhcp IN A 192.168.1.3
main IN A 192.168.1.10
Reverse zone file

; BIND reverse data file for kilraine.lan
;
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA kilraine.lan. myaddress.myemail.com. (
3006201401 ; Serial

86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
;
@ IN NS dns.
1 IN PTR dns2.kilraine.lan
2 IN PTR dns.kilraine.lan
3 IN PTR dhcp.kilraine.lan
10 IN PTR main.kilraine.lan
And lastly my named.conf.local file.
//
// Do any local configuration here
//
// Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your
// organization
// include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";
zone "kilraine.lan" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.kilraine.lan";
};
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.192";
};
I have restarted bind9 numerous times, and I have always gotten "OK". I used the dnsutils tool 'dig' on both the server and a client, each return the following
; <<>> DiG 9.8.4-rpz2+rl005.12-P1 <<>> kilraine.lan
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

I get the following error if I try to use dig kilraine.lan @dns.kilraine.lan
couldn't get address for 'dns.kilraine.lan': not found
Though I get the original dig output from "dig kilraine.lan @192.168.1.2"
Thanks - I REALLY appreciate any help! Please, don't hesitate for more info!!!
